RT @HiddenValueGems: GMO highlighted the key differences between the Top 10 stocks today and in 2000:

🧵👇🏼

1️⃣ “In 2000, the price-to-earnings ratio of the top 10 was 60x. Earnings had increased by 22% pa in the previous 5 years. Even if the fundamental return expectation of 19% p.a. had been delivered and stock prices held, the top 10’s multiple would have still exceeded 25x by 2005.”

Berkshire Hathaway reducing Apple in Q2

$BRK.B also reduced $AAPL in Q1, and Warren Buffett explicitly attributed this to tax

"If I’m doing it at 21% this year and we’re doing it a little higher percentage later on, I don’t think you’ll actually mind"

Philip Morris $PM shares now up 30%+ since both chair (and former CEO) André Calantzopoulos and CFO Emmanuel Babeau sold stock at ~$90 in Feb-24

Calantzopoulos and Babeau will do well anyway

But insider sales, like job moves, are not a good signal https://t.co/XtHBZXWKU8
