A few days ago at the Berkshire shareholders meeting, Buffett unexpectedly, but not entirely surprisingly, announced his retirement at the end of the year, at which time he will nominate Abel as his successor to lead Berkshire.
Buffett was born in 1930, and he is already 95 this year. The death of his close friend Munger a few years ago had a certain impact on his mental state. This feeling is strange; it's like when your parents or older brother are alive, there is a curtain between you and death, serving as a psychological buffer. When they have all passed away, that curtain is lifted, and facing death becomes a very unique experience.
Buffett mentioned last year that his health is not what it used to be and that he has entered the overtime of life. At that time, speculation about his health was rampant. Last night, he sat on the podium with two executives answering questions for four and a half hours, which is quite a feat for a nearly hundred-year-old man.
Just opened the software, and it feels cool all around; it seems that the cryptocurrency market has had a pullback recently, so I'm placing orders for those I have my eye on and want to buy 🤓
