To me, a succession plan where the prospective successor does not know who he or she is is NOT a succession plan.

That means the successor is not being trained and can not be prepared to take over the organization. That's not succession, that's the same as hiring an outsider to follow on as CEO.

Warren is treating his shareholders like mushrooms. He's keeping them in the dark and feeding them ... fertilizer.

(BRK.A) Poor Warren and Charlie appear to be diverting attention from their multi-year under performance of ALL market indices
and (http://bit.ly/obOPeH) which has outperformed BRK by 400%+ over the last decade. Dead money for years and NO dividend.Truly the fairy tale about the emperor's clothing.Warren and Charlie have been DEAD WRONG on Gold 1 ounce sold for $29 in 1969 was worth $1640 on Friday(up 5000%+ in 50 years!!!).One wonders why CNBC just introduced him as the "world's greatest investor" when he cannot outperform an index fund like (http://bit.ly/JjWCE4) or even do fifth grade math analysis on Gold Price for the last 50 years."Intelligent People" do not buy BRK truly a "zombie stock".

BRK.A stock was trading under $20 a share in 1969 and it's worth $122,000 a share now. If any intelligent people reading this can do the fifth grade mathematics required to calculate the percentage gain of BRK.A over the past 50 years, I believe you may find that it has significantly outperformed Gold over the same time period.

Drew, you appear to know enough to come armed to a battle of wits.
