Lee, I’m sorry for the previous post being too large, I deleted it, then removed the graphic and resent, this time it was very small but the post was held up due to it being too large again, not sure why,
That post would have been a stepping stone for this, seems Buffett likes what he sees, and why wouldn’t he since he sees a fantastic company that is also going to pay him for owning it… I thought folks might enjoy this perspective on Apple. John Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought stunning 75 million Apple shares in first quarter Becky Quick <safari-reader://www.cnbc.com/becky-quick/> Wall Street may have had doubts about Apple <safari-reader://www.cnbc.com/quotes/?symbol=AAPL> before the company reported its most recent quarterly earnings, but one of the tech company's biggest shareholders — Warren Buffett <safari-reader://www.cnbc.com/warren-buffett/> — didn't. In the first quarter, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway <safari-reader://www.cnbc.com/quotes/?symbol=BRK.A> bought an astounding 75 million shares of Apple. That adds to the 165.3 million shares Berkshire already owned at the end of 2017. "It is an unbelievable company," Buffett says. "If you look at Apple, I think it earns almost twice as much as the second most profitable company in the United States." Buffett revealed the additional purchases of Apple just ahead of the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting in Omaha, where 40,000 Berkshire shareholders will arrive this weekend. Buffett explained that Berkshire's quarterly earnings report, which will be released on Saturday, includes information on Berkshire's 10 largest holdings, and that astute readers of that report would be able to detect Berkshire's larger interest in Apple.
