The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

of any public company in American history. He doesn't get enough credit for basically working for free plus team brk never took a dime of equity from us via options, etc. For the past 20 years it's always been fun to predict Buffett's moves, a few years before he makes them. Where do we go from here?

Buffett will sell at least another 50 billion apple by year end. With 250 billion plus cash he will try to find elephants but if he can't he has plan B. He will amend his current estate plan and gift 75 -100 billion of his shares to the foundation, shortly after passing. The foundations will be instructed to sell ALL the shares to brk at 1.1 xs BV. This move will be slightly dilutive to BV but,very accretive to IV, which is great for the partners he leaves behind. The foundations can expedite their great work by enjoying the proceeds from the sales of these shares, quickly, rather than over a 5-10 year time period. This would be Uncle Warrens last great gift to society and his partners. He could do this in a smaller way prior to passing in several traunches during the next few years.

Good luck, thanks for the journey!
