Such a big announcement, I am feeling a range of emotions, from sadness of seeing the end of a great era, to feeling proud of Warrens 60 years at the head of Berkshire Hathaway and everything he accomplished. To extreme confidence that Berkshire will be in great hands with Greg at the reins.
I think Warren loves Berkshire so much, that he wants a smooth transition, so is handing over the reins to Greg in an orderly fashion. How ever I believe, Warren will still be working for Berkshire until his last breath, but it is time for Greg to take some of the weight off the old boys shoulders.
Thank you Warren for everything you have done for us shareholders, and for being a great teacher, you changed my life in so many ways, and for that I will forever grateful. You have made me a better investor, but also in some ways a better person.
