RE-IBM Becky Quick who has known to become his regular confidant on his CNBC interviews. Curiously she said later on. she thinks if he could have sold it all at 180. He would have. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed his out of place composure. He does have a lot going on with the annual meeting. I'm fairly sure it's a talking point he didn't want to come to the BH annual meeting.

>they called and asked him why he was selling. That shouldn't be public info at that point.

I agree Shane. I'm guessing that's why many big investors like to keep stakes of under 5%. There's no 13d filing. I wonder who his brokers are? Maybe there will be some changes after this? When your in the limelight and have that much stock to sell of a company. It's not hard for leaks & rumors to start on the street.

P.S. I've only been to a few annual meetings in Rochester area companies. Mostly notably Kodak when it was in it's heyday. I've never owned Berkshire stock. However that's one annual meeting I'd still like to attend while he is alive. Politics aside, I have much admiration for the man as an investor.
