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 take is that Greg is building a A-Team of managers to run the incredible portfolio of companies that WEB acquired over his lifetime. I have no idea how Pilot is doing, but I know Adam Wright has taken over, and that's all I need to know. Todd Coombs has his detractors, but what he is doing at GEICO is almost literally unbelievable. Others here must have their favorite BRK managers. I predict that a lot of great managers who hate working for jerks will now come to BRK.”

Noting that Berkshire Hathaway’s HomeServices of America has just promoted EVP Chris Kelly to be the new CEO, as former CEO Gino Blefari steps into a new role as chairman emeritus. housingwire.com - Homeservices of america names chris kelly CEO replacing blefari

Meanwhile, Vicky Holub wants BRK to buy OXY so she can work for Greg and the BRK board. barrons.com - Occidental CEO berkshire buyout

I will be interested in hearing about the operating companies at the annual meeting.
