It's kind of funny reading today his section about the good reason Mr Buffett had for dumping the entire airline position at a loss.
Yes, it was a good reason--but it's funny because the four airlines are up hugely today. AAL up 26%.
As far as I can tell, the market reaction is because they plan to restart some flights--55% capacity in July.
It's a long way back from there to steady profits, but we can wish them luck.

Airlines/travel I get. But don't some of these look like fairly good places to be?
What are Markel up to?

Maybe they wanted to raise cash and sold positions they felt were fully valued/overvalued (Dollar Tree, Unilever, UNH) or too much debt (BUD, KFT). I am not familiar with the other companies.
I did something similar with my portfolio last month, after the markets soared.
