Apple-crash - why Buffett is happy

By almost ten per cent is the share of the success-drenched iPhone manufacturer yesterday was the worst day of trading broke - since 2013. Whether this is really in the spirit of great investors like Warren Buffett?

The billionaire had said last may at the annual General meeting of his company, Berkshire Hathaway, "We would very much like to see how Apple is losing value, then we could buy more shares at a bargain price."

The opportunity to do so Buffett would have now. Alone in the yesterday's trading day in New York, Apple stock has lost nearly ten per cent in value and almost $ 75 billion in value lost. Buffett, who owns about its investment company 252.5 million shares of Apple, has thus become, at a stroke, to almost four billion dollars poorer.

Almost 40 percent of its value

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway had purchased in the first quarter of 2018, a total of 75 million shares of Apple, in addition to the already since 2017 possessed 165,3 million shares. Buffett's said to CNBC that he likes Apple and clearly "we buy them, to keep them".

However, for the billionaire has proven to be the Investment as a value destroyer. Since the High on 3. October of last year at 232 Dollar has cheapened the Apple paper to almost 40 percent. Also in the case of other participations, in the last year: shares of Bank of America, comprise eleven percent of the portfolio, lost in the year compared to 17 percent and Wells Fargo to 23 percent. These are the two biggest positions in the Holding company behind Apple. Coca-Cola, Berkshires fourth-largest Position with ten percent of the portfolio is in the positive area - a Plus of three percent in the last twelve months.
