Berkshire sells $183M of own stock near 52w low

Berkshire Hathaway's vice chairman sold $182.9M of BRK.B this week. Discretionary. Not a pre-planned sale, which makes it the largest discretionary insider exit we've tracked this month. He reduced his position by 4.1% while the stock sits near the bottom of its 52-week range, $10 off the low and $55 below the high it hit in December. Here's the conflict.

Nobody on the inside is putting their own money behind the name right now.
