Buffett’s transition is strategic, not reactive — ensuring continuity without compromising Berkshire’s culture of discipline. For shareholders, this isn’t a turning point to fear — it’s one to study.

Alice is right: Warren is literally not replaceable. And BRK either... no matter what other investors/ceo-marketers says about their companies (the next BRK of "X").

Did you get a copy of the 60th anniversary book? I did!

Yep, I put my order in right away. I was actually checking the resellers prices on eBay (which were up over $200 at the time) when I noticed Berkshire selling it. My wallet is appreciative :)

'On Monday, Berkshire’s stock price dropped as much as 6% as the market digested the CEO hand-off — and, to some extent, a decline in first quarter earnings'.

We don't know why the stock was off 6%, certainly not the portion of it that was due to one thing vs another. Unless every transaction could be analysed and even then the data may not be accurate.
