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.

So many powerful people just can't give it up and end up tarnishing their legacy by staying too long. Buffett has done it right, IMO. What a class act.

I very much enjoyed the letter. Hope there are many more to come.

To my surprise, I generally feel good. Though I move slowly and read with increasing
difficulty, I am at the office five days a week where I work with wonderful people. Occasionally, I
get a useful idea or am approached with an offer we might not otherwise have received. Because of
Berkshire’s size and because of market levels, ideas are few – but not zero.

...
I would like to keep a significant amount of “A” shares until Berkshire shareholders
develop the comfort with Greg that Charlie and I long enjoyed. That level of confidence shouldn’t
take long
. My children are already 100% behind Greg as are the Berkshire directors.


Bolding mine. Be nice if that were a hint :-)
