The concern about Warren Buffett's passing is far overblown

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

For a company which measures its success in years, not quarters, I’d have to reply “Too soon to tell.” It’s been what, 15 months? And in that time we have seen Berkshire stack up piles of Benjamins that would reach to the moon, perhaps more. (It’s not a criticism, just an observation. It may be the exactly right thing to do, dunno.)

It’s *possible* that the death of Charlie will make no difference, but I doubt it. I think it unlikely that the death of BOTH of them won’t change things, no matter how hard someone tries to replicate their thinking.

(Steve Jobs famously told Tim Cook: don’t do what you think I’d do. Do what you think you should do.)
