Berkshire Hathaway Reduces Position Moody's (MCO)

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has sold shares of Moody's (MCO) again according to a Form 4 just filed with the SEC. On October 12th and 13th, Berkshire Hathaway sold 370,146 shares of Moody's (MCO) at prices ranging from $27.40 to $28.00.

After the sales, Berkshire is left with 28,503,610 shares of MCO, still a very sizable position. This is the third subsequent sale of MCO by Buffett's organization and we've pointed out the trend for Berkshire to sell MCO anytime shares trade north of $25. The majority of Berkshire's Moody's position is held by their subsidiary, GEICO.
