Apple giants: Who bought, who sold last quarter

As Apple shares soared last quarter, Blackrock, Vanguard and Northern Trust sold.

The big buyers among the big 20 in fiscal Q4 2018 were Fidelity, Morgan Stanley and Janus Henderson.

My take: The elephant on the trading floor, of course, is Apple, which bought back millions of its own shares in fiscal Q4. (Will get that number after I walk the dog.)
