<Do you scrutinize BOD candidates for all the companies you invest in as carefully as you do BRK's or is BRK an exception?
I suspect more than half the BOD candidates of most companies would not qualify on the criteria advocated.
Of course most companies don't have any unique culture that needs to be preserved.
And it is not unusual for descendants of founders to be on the BOD, due to significant shareholding.>

Superb questions!
I was thinking this as well.
I'd be willing to bet most of the posters here who are hating on Susie have no idea who's on the boards of the other companies they own, or their qualifications. (Or lack thereof.)
Yet they hold Warren (The one guy you can actually trust to do what's best for shareholders) to a different standard.
Strange...

All the best!
