Berkshire Hathaway is dumping Apple stock and building its cash stockpile to record highs because Warren Buffett believes the government will raise capital gains taxes soon
Briefly

Warren Buffett's decision to offload Apple shares reflects a shift in investment strategy, aimed at increasing cash reserves amid uncertain tax policies and market conditions.
Berkshire Hathaway's cash reserves skyrocketed to an unprecedented $325.2 billion, surpassing the market value of its equities for the first time, as Buffett scales back on equities.
In the face of rising capital-gains taxes and market volatility, Berkshire Hathaway has sold over two-thirds of its Apple stakes, a major shift for the investment giant.
Despite heavy sales, Buffett's strategy appears justified, as Berkshire Hathaway's shares have risen 52% over the last three years, significantly outperforming the S&P 500.
