Is Warren Buffet About To Sell His Stake In Apple?
And recently the company announced the shuttering of its electric car program. The $10 billion, 10-year effort came to a halt after the top Apple brass decided it was no longer feasible to pull off.Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock has been sliding, down 11% on the year and hitting the lowest point in 4 months. The tech giant is struggling as the S&P 500 is up nearly 7% in the same time period.
苹果公司（纳斯达克股票代码：AAPL）的股票一直在下滑，同比下跌11％，触及4个月来的最低点。这家科技巨头正在苦苦挣扎，因为标准普尔500指数同期上涨了近7％。
Why?
为什么？
The most recent move down, close to 3% on the day, came after dismal numbers were reported out of China. The phone maker's iPhone sales dropped by 24% year-over-year in the country as people turned toward local alternatives like Huawei.
最近的下跌幅度为当天接近3％，此前中国公布了惨淡的数字。由于人们转向华为等本地替代品，这家手机制造商的iPhone销量同比下降了24％。
This was just a day after regulators in the European Union fined Apple $2 billion for violating EU antitrust rules with its App Store policies. The stock tumbled 2.5% on that news.
就在第二天，欧盟监管机构对苹果处以20亿美元的罚款，原因是苹果的App Store政策违反了欧盟的反垄断规则。该消息使该股下跌了2.5％。
And recently the company announced the shuttering of its electric car program. The $10 billion, 10-year effort came to a halt after the top Apple brass decided it was no longer feasible to pull off.
最近，该公司宣布关闭其电动汽车计划。在苹果高层认为不再可行之后，这项为期10年的100亿美元努力停止了。
But probably the biggest drain on the company's stock has been its lack of participation in the AI boom. Apple has been quiet on this front with many believing the company is behind the curve.
但是，该公司股票的最大流失可能是它缺乏对人工智能繁荣的参与。苹果在这方面一直保持沉默，许多人认为该公司落后于潮流。
Buffet's Move
自助餐的举动
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK) owns a massive stake in Apple, nearly 1 billion shares, or 6% of the company. Buffet initiated his stake in the company in 2016 when the shares were trading at about $22 and finished amassing his stake buy 2018 when the shares were still south of $50. He's enjoyed an enormous ROI and now may be the time to make an exit.
伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（纽约证券交易所代码：BRK）拥有苹果的大量股份，近10亿股股份，占该公司的6％。巴菲特于2016年开始持有该公司的股份，当时该公司的交易价格约为22美元，并在2018年股价仍低于50美元时完成了股份的积累工作。他获得了巨大的投资回报率，现在可能是退出的时候了。
How to make an exit will be tricky. Berkshire must report its holdings on the 13F form. If the next one, due in May, shows Buffett offloading Apple, it could start a chain reaction as many in the investment world pay close attention to Buffet's every move.
如何退出将很棘手。伯克希尔必须在13F表格上报告其持有的股份。如果定于5月发布的下一份报告显示巴菲特正在卸任苹果，那可能会引发连锁反应，因为投资界的许多人都在密切关注巴菲特的一举一动。
