The concern about Warren Buffett's passing is far overblown

Indeed. While I miss Charlie, his demise didn't tank or derail a thing.

I'm reasonably sure that Todd and Ted have been making most of the investment decisions (or suggestions, when a higher dollar outlay is sought, and Warren is saying yes often), for many years. Warren certainly would not have bought Apple which is by far responsible four outsize gains well beyond Warren's Coke purchase or such.

I founded a personal finance forum at work, on our intranet, that had over 3000 participants before I retired. That was pretty cool. Seeing young people talk about compounding and such was even more so, especially those born after I entered the workforce. Seeing some folks achieve TSP millionaire status was at the top of the cool mountain. And yes, I seeded a lot of Warren wisdom in there...
