Update 1:20pm: Adds Brown's comments on why he sold Store Capital shares.
Store Capital Corp. (NYSE:STOR) dropped slightly after a CNBC commentator said he sold the shares.
Josh Brown sold the Store (STOR) shares during the last week of the year, according to comments he made on CNBC. Brown said he purchased shares of Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG).

Brown said he sold the Store Capital shares because of some recent management changes, including the chairman and former CEO "abruptly" leaving his position last week.
"But that was the guy for me," Brown said on CNBC. "He was the founder, he was the architect of the business. I think it will be OK, but I need to make room to do some other things. I took a profit. I went running out of that stock in the last week of the year like Antonio Brown leaving the Meadowlands with my shirt off."
