“To me, the answer to anyone agitating for change is a simple one. Why mess with a good thing?”

A growing number of people in society wish to use enterprises like Berkshire to promote political and social issues. And most boards meekly agree. I hope Berkshire resists the pressure after Buffett and Munger leave the scene. This is certainly not assured.

Back in September, he bought 168 Class A shares at prices between $405,000 to $408,000.

Another wonderful piece. What a shame more boards don’t act honorably like Berkshire... So many proxy are longer than annual reports.
