Realistically, how shocked could they be? He is 94 years old.
It’ll be interesting to see if this will be a Jobs ~> Cook situation where the successor, Greg Abel, is able to lead Berkshire-Hathaway higher, or this will mark the beginning of their demise.
Signs point to the former!

Is he staying on as Chairman or stepping away completely?

He’s still saying on as chairman. Overall, pretty impressive when you consider people 10 years younger don’t have the mental acuity he does.

Abel will do a good job. He has been grooming him for years. Abel coming from the energy side might be a bit less antagonistic towards Bitcoin. Not saying they will buy it but maybe stop calling it rat poison.

It’s hard to argue against the genius that is Buffet, but he definitely got Bitcoin wrong. To be fair, he was mostly a value stock guy, so I think Bitcoin was a little out there for him.

Deep domain expertise, curiosity, and impact.

His genius is the ability to sit still in the room and watch compounding do its magic.

Fiat is so crazy that even the guy who won the game decides to retire at 94, and you get people still thinking they're going to call it quits at 60
