Warren Buffett Just Sold $1.5 Billion of Berkshire Hathaway's Second-Largest Holding. Here's Why.
Warren Buffett keeps selling stocks. The Oracle of Omaha has been a net seller of equities for his company's portfolio in each of the last six quarters, as reported by Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B). The odds are good he'll make it seven in a row when Berkshire reports next month, and now he's going for eight with another major stock sale.
A recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that Buffett sold $1.5 billion of Berkshire Hathaway's second-largest equity holding, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC). The sale represents just a 3.3% reduction in Berkshire's stake in the bank but could be just the start.
There's no doubt Bank of America has been a very successful investment for Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. And Buffett is famously quoted as saying his favorite investment holding period is "forever." So why is he selling shares now?
