Berkshire Hathaway Sells Apple, Buys Ulta (091)

The headline of this podcast episode is that Berkshire Hathaway has sold 50% of its Apple stake to rack up $277 billion in cash. Some of what Berkshire seems to be buying with that cash includes Ulta, Occidental Petroleum, and Chubb. However, Berkshire is bearish on Bank of America and Apple based on selling these storied stocks. Why is Warren Buffett or his investing team selling an amazing stock like Apple, could it really be because of tax reasons or another investing reason?
