Warren Buffett Steps Down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway

Warren Buffett announced his plan to step down as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year, with Greg Abel as his successor. This decision followed the release of Berkshire's earnings report, showing a 14% decrease in first-quarter operating profit. Despite the news, Berkshire's stock only experienced a slight decline in premarket trading. Buffett's cash pile grew to $348 billion, with no immediate deployment plans due to lack of suitable opportunities. The transition signals a well-prepared succession plan within the company.

One of my favourite investment figure is retiring: Warren Buffett.And I can’t help but feel bittersweet about it.Throughout the years. Warren Buffett was a shining beacon on what investments should be - simple and ‘compounding’.In this week’s newsletter, I am dedicating it to his legacy and how he has influenced my journey!If there is a real story where it involves a cowboy riding off into the sunset, Warren Buffett’s one is top of the list.After 60 years helming Berkshire Hathaway with Charlie Munger, he is finally riding off with a hefty US$160 billion in net worth.His track record has been impeccable in Berkshire.It’s not even close how much Warren Buffett has outperformed the market.I still remember when I picked up the book he recommended, “Intelligent Investor”. Apparently, that book
