So many powerful people just can't give it up and end up tarnishing their legacy by staying too long. Buffett has done it right, IMO. What a class act.

I very much enjoyed the letter. Hope there are many more to come.

To my surprise, I generally feel good. Though I move slowly and read with increasing difficulty, I am at the office five days a week where I work with wonderful people. Occasionally, I get a useful idea or am approached with an offer we might not otherwise have received. Because of Berkshire’s size and because of market levels, ideas are few – but not zero.
...
I would like to keep a significant amount of “A” shares until Berkshire shareholders develop the comfort with Greg that Charlie and I long enjoyed. That level of confidence shouldn’t take long. My children are already 100% behind Greg as are the Berkshire directors.

Bolding mine. Be nice if that were a hint :-)

It was a fun read. I’m in the south of France, and after reading it I went down to our weekly open air market. The local nuns were out in force, and I couldn’t stop thinking “have they been fingerprinted”?

Darn you Warren!
