Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway continues to dump Moody's stock

Warren Buffett continues to show that he's no longer in the mood to be a Moody's investor.

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway reported additional sales of the credit rating firm in an SEC filing Monday. Berkshire has reported such sales at least a half-dozen times in the past year and seems on its way to liquidating the entire stake.

The latest filing reported that Berkshire sold 815,905 shares last week. That raised about $24 million for Berkshire, mere pocket change.

Berkshire still owned about 31 million shares of Moody's Corp. as of the filing.

Berkshire is required to report the transactions within two days of their occurrence because it owns more than 10 percent of the company's stock. Once that ownership level falls below 10 percent, which it seems nearly certain to do, Berkshire will no longer have to update its sales each time they're made.
