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.

I would hope as a shareholder that Berkshire will be broken up and I think it is inevitable that it will be.

This does seem likely at some in the not too distant future. There are few who can (arguably) create value by combining jet engines with SNL like Jack Welch, or candies and railroads like Buffet. The replacement will do what Immelt did. It’ll probably be the right thing to do too.

I’m surprised this isn’t a more prevalent scenario for the foreseeable future.
