Thanks, that's very fair. Berkshire still has a pretty huge stake, which they wouldn't be holding if they were bearish.

Funds like this don’t think one way. They can be bearish, cash out while hedging

Also fair point. Berkshire has such a significant impact on the market that they have to take a long-term approach just to changing their stake, lest they sway the market. I've never been involved with a big firm like this, but I would also imagine there's some regulation involved around what/how they're able to operate, so that could also be a non-trivial factor in their decisions and current positions.
