The week's question

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.

"... suggest reevaluating your over concentration in Berkshire. Warren is good but have you seriously considered successorship issues?'

I had essentially the same response ("but isn't Buffett, like, really old?") with one of my senior colleagues once, when somehow it came up that my self-directed 401(K) was mostly Berkshire. My colleague's money was handled by a golfing/Rotary buddy of his, who was a broker for Fidelity or similar.

I gave a softball answer along the lines of Well, I think he's probably got a few more years in him, and changed the subject.

This was in around 2000-2001, when BRK.A was around $60-65K iirc.
