Now We Know Why Warren Buffett Was Selling Stocks

This is pretty absurd. Berkshire began selling, AND did the vast bulk of its selling of stocks BEFORE the election!

I also don't think Buffett has changed his general view of investing. He doesn't invest based on the macroeconomic climate, and he doesn't invest based on the political climate, but instead invests when he can buy good companies at fair prices.

“It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price" - Warren Buffett
