$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)$ $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ 🚨🗞️👑 The Oracle’s Last Waltz: Buffett Steps Down as CEO 👑🗞️🚨

🧭 Warren Buffett has been my financial compass since I first stumbled into the world of markets. His annual letters were my masterclasses, his stock picks my puzzles, his restraint my mantra. He taught me that simplicity is strength, patience is power, and value is timeless, even in a world addicted to frenzy. Today, learning that Buffett has stepped down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway feels like the markets have lost their polestar, a quiet, steady light in a sky full of noise.

Buffett wasn’t just the Oracle of Omaha. He was the conviction behind my trades, the clarity in my chaos, the wisdom in my wins.

At 94, Warren Buffett, the only soul who could pack stadiums for a shareholder Q&A, has handed the reins of Berkshire Hathaway to Greg Abel. After 50 years of steering a conglomerate that reshaped global investing, Buffett steps aside with a final message, a bulletproof balance sheet, and $347.7 billion in cash, enough to rewrite industries. This isn’t just a leadership swap. It’s the end of a saga that spanned markets, crises, and continents.

📣 Buffett’s Global Plea: Trade as Unity, Not War

In his final Omaha address, Buffett aimed a quiet dart at U.S. protectionism, particularly the 145 percent tariffs strangling Chinese imports.

“Trade should not be a weapon… It can be an act of war.”

His words weren’t just for America, they were a call to the world. From Shanghai to Frankfurt, tariffs ripple, hiking costs and fraying supply chains. Buffett, ever the global thinker, urged cooperation over isolation.

“When seven and a half billion people don’t like you very well, you’ve made a strategic error.”

This hits home for me. In a world of fractured alliances, his plea for shared prosperity feels like a universal truth, one that resonates whether you’re trading in Tokyo, London, or São Paulo.

🧠 Greg Abel’s Moment: A New Captain, a Familiar Compass

Greg Abel, a Canadian-born pragmatist with a knack for operations, inherits a cash-loaded titan amid geopolitical storms and market swings. Buffett’s wisdom echoes: “When gold rains, use a bucket, not a spoon.” Abel’s bucket is brimming, but where will he pour it? My bet is sectors like renewable energy or healthcare, where Berkshire’s scale could shift paradigms. Abel’s track record, streamlining Berkshire’s utilities, suggests he’ll move methodically, not impulsively.

Buffett isn’t vanishing. He’ll remain chairman, a sage in the shadows. But Abel must now wield a philosophy forged in Omaha and revered worldwide, patience, integrity, and a laser focus on value.

📚 The Buffett Code: A Global Mindset

Buffett’s maxims are my investing DNA, and they transcend borders

“Guard your capital. That’s rule one, and two.”

“A great business at a fair price beats a cheap business any day.”

“Fear greed. Greed fear.”

“Do a few things right, and avoid too many wrongs.”

“Your heroes shape your destiny.”

His 14 investing rules, high returns on equity, low debt, unshakable moats, long-term bets, built a machine that outperformed Wall Street’s flashiest minds. His annual letters, laced with wit and wisdom, were global dispatches, read from New York to Nairobi. For me, Buffett’s genius wasn’t just financial, it was human. He saw markets as stories, companies as characters, and investing as a craft of character.

His code isn’t retiring. It’s eternal.

🌍 Berkshire’s Global Footprint: A Legacy Beyond Omaha

Berkshire’s reach spans continents, insurance in Europe, railroads in North America, tech bets in Asia. Its $347.7B cash pile could fund moonshots or stabilise markets. Abel’s challenge is global, navigate trade wars, inflation, and tech disruption while honouring Buffett’s vision. For investors everywhere, Berkshire remains a beacon of discipline in a world of hype.

Hey Global Market Mavericks:

Buffett’s taken his bow, Abel’s at the helm, and a historic cash pile is itching for action. Will Berkshire pounce on renewables, reshape healthcare, or surprise us all? I’m watching, and I know you are too.
