Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B), bears responsibility for “major investment decisions and all major capital allocation decisions” made by the company, according to financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
With that in mind, Berkshire sold 116 million shares of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) in the March quarter, reducing its stake by 13%.
