Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) chief Warren Buffett lavished more praise on Apple (AAPL) Monday, sending the iPhone maker's stock to a fresh all-time high.

Days after Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett told CNBC he would "love to own 100%" of Apple stock. His company currently has a 5% stake in Apple worth around $11 billion.

Buffett's business partner and fellow billionaire investor Charlie Munger chimed in with a similar view.

"I think we've been a little too restrained," Munger told CNBC from Omaha, Neb. "I wish we owned more of it."

Apple Breakout

While capital and regulatory hurdles make owning 100% of Apple impossible even for one of America's most revered investors, Buffett's words set Apple shares rallying again.

Shares were up 2.1% at a fresh high of 187.62 on the stock market today, after surging 3.9% to 184.25 on Friday, easily clearing a 179.04 buy point in a double-bottom base. A strong RS line and heavy buying volume backed Apple's breakout.

Apple shares vaulted 13% last week thanks to an impressive earnings beat, a massive buyback plan and news that Berkshire Hathaway added 75 million shares to its stake in the technology giant in Q1.

Apple has jumped 10.2% year to date vs. a 0.3% gain for the S&P 500.

Other outperforming stocks in Buffett's stock investment portfolio year to date include Mastercard (MA) (25%), Sirius XM (SIRI) (25%) and Phillips 66 (PSX) (16%).
