Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the exact date when he sold.

But in his early years, trained under Graham, he valued companies purely on liquidation value — and whenever the stock approached that number, he sold.

In most cases that was a mistake. Only later, under Charlie Munger’s influence, did he shift toward holding great businesses longer instead of treating everything as a trade.
