Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway buys $1B of Apple stock
I couldn't agree more. They may have consulted him because of the hype this will get on CNBC and other financial websites, but probably not because of the fundamentals of the investment. Thumbs up for putting my thoughts into words better than I could.msuberly said:Berkshire's $1B holding in Apple is #16 on its list of publicly traded holdings, and represents less than .3% of Berkshire's market cap. Some other perspective: Berkshire added $1.25B of Phillips 66 stock last quarter...where is the headline of that?
This investment will hardly move the needle at Berkshire. If Buffet was consulted at all, it would be because of the hype surround Berkshire's stock picks and not because of the fundamentals of the investment.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway buys $1B of Apple stock
Don't get me wrong: Regardless who initiated the position, this is big news. It's not the HUGE news that it would've been if Warren Buffett went on CNBC and indicated he was the one who made the decision and talked up the company's prospects and low valuation. But nevertheless, whether it's Todd, Ted or Warren, it is nice to have the seal of approval from Berkshire Hathaway. -

To AppleInsider staff: Please note that it is highly likely that Warren Buffett had nothing to do with the investment decision to buy AAPL. He may have, but the total amount of the purchase is small enough to warrant that either Todd or Ted (one of the managers who Warren hired a few years ago to replace him) were the likely buyers. This is a very important distinction.

Citing concerns in China, activist investor Carl Icahn no longer owns shares of Apple
What a piece of work this Carl Icahn is. He was pumping the stock at $130+ and he's out at 95 because of China? China business is now double what it was then. Give me a break.

KGI says 'iPhone 7' won't have 'many attractive selling points,' predicts competitors to outperform
You think selling 18 million units into an installed base of 250+ million people who still uses at least 3-year-old 4-inch phones is "selling well"??? C'mon maaaaan....aslo higgens said:Wasn't Kuo just saying last month "in a note to investors" that the SE was not selling well? Oops.
