Firstly, it's important to note that Greenbrier Partners' total portfolio decreased from $747,045,000 to $662,931,000, a decrease of 11.3%. This decrease is likely due to a combination of factors, including selling off certain holdings and some of their stocks experiencing a decrease in value.

One of the most significant changes was in their holdings of Apple (AAPL), which decreased by 10.7%. Greenbrier Partners sold off 10,182 shares, resulting in a decrease in value of $26,249,000. It's unclear why they chose to sell off some of their Apple holdings, but it's possible that they wanted to diversify their portfolio or take profits after the stock's recent run-up.

Another notable decrease was in their holdings of Amazon (AMZN), which decreased by 6.6%. Greenbrier Partners sold off 45,141 shares, resulting in a decrease in value of $23,494,000. This decrease could be due to concerns about Amazon's future growth or increasing competition in the e-commerce space.

On the other hand, there were a few holdings that increased in value for Greenbrier Partners. The Southwest Airlines Co (LUV) increased in value by 2.0%, while Markel Corp (MKL) and Pulte Group Inc (PHM) increased in value by 11.4% and 11.3%, respectively. These increases suggest that Greenbrier Partners is optimistic about the future prospects of these companies.

However, not all of Greenbrier Partners' holdings performed well during this time period. PayPal Holdings Inc (PYPL) decreased in value by a significant 24.4%, with Greenbrier Partners selling off 38,954 shares. This decrease could be due to concerns about the company's future growth prospects or increasing competition in the payment processing space.

Overall, it's clear that Greenbrier Partners made some significant changes to their portfolio between Q3 2022 and Q4 2022. While some of their holdings increased in value, others decreased, highlighting the importance of staying diversified and being aware of market trends.
