Here is one more soundbite from the WSJ interview with Charlie, Re: Apple
Charlie Munger isn't too worried about Apple's valuation.
During a recent conversation with the Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman, I asked if he thought the tech giant's shares have gotten expensive to continue being a major Berkshire holding.
Apple is trading at about 26.7 times its projected earnings over the next 12 months, compared with a 10-year average of 18.5, according to FactSet.
“I don’t think we’ve got any rules about what we do at Berkshire. If it makes sense at the time in a rough kind of way, we do it. And that’s our system,” Munger responded. “I would argue that Berkshire would have less advantageous future prospects if we didn’t have our Apple.”
