Apple is now down around 38% from its early October peak.

Hopefully Buffett won't add to the position since it'a already so big, but it will be interesting to see if he makes some purchases in other sectors to take advantage of the current market swoon.

While he doesn't try to 'time the market', if Buffett chooses not to deploy much cash it might be because he sees a recession coming which will bring even bigger discounts.

The 10 year bull market was getting long in the tooth, and couldn't last forever. But getting the trade war situation resolved with China could go a long way toward stabilizing the stock market, and perhaps the Fed will pause in their plan for more rate hikes. But political turmoil in the US will likely escalate in 2019, so a mixed bag.
