In his farewell letter , Buffett says investing is about enduring the unpredictable, and he believes strong companies like Berkshire will always rebound.
“Over time, our managers should grow quite wealthy – they have important responsibilities – but do not have the desire for dynastic or look-at-me wealth.
Our stock price will move capriciously, occasionally falling 50% or so as has happened three times in 60 years under present management. Don’t despair; America will come back and so will Berkshire shares.”
Buffett plans to step down at the end of the year, and says he’d choose his successor Greg Abel over any CEO, consultant or academic to handle Berkshire’s portfolio moving forward.
