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.

My (maybe very wrong) understanding is that Howie will control the voting power of Warren's stock holdings until they ultimately disappear in time into charitable contributions.

On that subject - when Warren's stock holdings are charitably contributed at some point after his passing, what is the likelihood that the shares will be sold in large volumes over a relatively short period of time?

If this occurred, and given how large his stake is in Berkshire, I would expect a massive liquidation of shares to have a significant downward pressure Berkshire stock prices. But I wonder how long the effects of that could persist.
