Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has been a big-time net-seller of stocks for seven consecutive quarters .

The bulk of this selling activity can be traced to the No. 1 holding in Berkshire 's 45 -stock, $308 billion investment portfolio, Apple .

But in spite of this persistent selling in two core holdings, there are two stocks Warren Buffett simply can't stop buying.

Occidental has meaningfully improved its balance sheet since acquiring Anadarko for $55 billion in 2019 .

With almost $277 billion in available cash, Warren Buffett is strongly incented to continue buying shares of his own company.

Since Berkshire Hathaway doesn't pay a dividend, buybacks are the direct way Buffett rewards his shareholders.
