Berkshire appears set to exit BYD (1211 HK) partially or in full. But why signal to market well in advance?

The BOJ was expected to change its ETF allocations. It stopped buying Nikkei 225 and JPX Nikkei 400 ETFs. As the world moves more to passive, expect float to decrease.

In the last six weeks, AGL Energy Ltd (AGL AU) has fallen and is now at the low end of its post-Brookfield bid trading range. Now below the A$8.25 bid.
AGL has one generator down - the Loy Yang A Unit 2 - which will be back in late Sep. Guidance is left... unguided. There will be a related loss.
In the meantime, the rest of the producing assets have probably been having a field day. But given shareholder structure, we're still in limbo.
