Warren usually plans his sales and repurchases months in advance and shares Applu they are no exception.

Stock value Applu is growing at a rocket rate and it is not surprising that not only big fish but also small investors are buying them. However, one of the legendary billionaires, Warren Buffett, has the opposite opinion and instead of increasing his stake, he decided to sell Apple shares worth $ 800 million during the last quarter, at least according to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be several reasons behind this unusual step, whether it is the desire to withdraw money before a possible correction, or to invest in other sectors. However, according to the latest information, it seems that the second is more likely variaBuffett's Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate has decided to invest $549 million in supermarket chain Kroger, which represents a 2.4% stake, and $192 million in pharmaceutical company Biogen, which represents a mere 0.4% stake.

The reason for this decision is obvious. The coronavirus is raging with destructive force and Biogen is one of many companies trying to come up with an effective vaccine.
