Now, this from Fox Business:Buffett And The Airline Stock He Sold
Back on March 23, 2020, a senior analyst for some firm said that Warren Buffett panicked when he sold his airlines. That analyst did not know a basic rule of investing. LOL.
So, where does Berkshire Hathaway stand today if Warren Buffett re-invested all proceeds from the four airlines he sold, back into AAPL:
Airline Shr Price: 3/31/2020 Dollars: 3/31/2020 Shares Shr Price: July 10, 2020 Total: July 10, 2020 DAL 28.53 675,000,000 23,659,306 27.09 640,930,599 UAL 31.55 675,000,000 21,394,612 32.67 698,961,965 AAL 12.19 675,000,000 55,373,257 11.94 661,156,686 SWA (LUV) 35.61 675,000,000 18,955,350 33.22 629,696,714 2,700,000,000 2,630,745,965 AAPL 254.29 2,700,000,000 10,617,799 383.68 4,073,836,958 1,443,090,993 2,630,745,965 54.85% March 24, 2020 224 10,617,799 2,378,386,881 July 10, 2020 383.68 10,617,799 4,073,836,958 1,695,450,077
Hypothetical numbers:
- on/about March 31, 2020, proceeds from sale of the four airlines: $2.7 billion
- July 11, 2020, those four holdings would be worth: $2.63 billion
- had Buffett taken that $2.7 billion and purchased $2.7 billion of AAPL shares back in March, they would be worth $4.074 billion, a 51% increase in value vs a further loss in the value of those airline stocks.
