🌟🌟🌟 Warren Buffett also emphasised the importance of maintaining discipline and staying unemotional when market prices fluctuate .  He reminded me that market volatility should be seen as natural part of investing, not a crisis to be feared.

Warren Buffett’s announcement to step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, with Greg Abel as his successor, has sparked a sharp market reaction, with Berkshire’s stock dropping as much as 7% on Monday, May 5, 2025. This dip, coupled with Buffett’s legendary status, raises the question of whether it’s time to buy or sell Berkshire Hathaway shares Reasons to Buy the Dip Buffett’s Continued Involvement: Buffett will remain Chairman of the Board, suggesting he’ll still influence major capital allocation decisions. His pledge to retain all his shares—“I have no intention – zero – of selling one share of Berkshire Hathaway”—signals confidence in the company’s future under Abel’s leadership.

It finally happened — a 6% drop in Berkshire Hathaway, and suddenly the unthinkable becomes real. After decades of quiet confidence under Warren Buffett’s steady hand, markets are jittery, headlines are swirling, and investors are wondering: is this the beginning of the end for the Oracle’s empire, or is it the best opportunity in years? Let’s break it down. Berkshire’s brand is inseparable from Buffett. His name has stood for trust, prudence, and long-term performance. His annual letters were gospel. His portfolio, a blend of American resilience and business common sense. So when news of his full transition to Greg Abel started circulating, the market reacted—not because Abel is unfit, but because Buffett’s shoes are enormous to fill. It’s emotional. It’s psychological. And yes, it’s a li

Lessons I Learnt From Warren Buffett's Final Meeting

🌟🌟🌟I am devastated to learn that this will be Warren Buffett's Final Berkshire Hathaway Meeting as it will  mark the end of a wonderful  era at Berkshire Hathaway as well as his generous sharing of his countless pearls of wisdom over the years. His parting remarks covered everything from leadership transition and capital allocation to trade policy and the importance of rational decision making.  In his characteristic down to earth style, Warren Buffett emphasised the value of patience and a long term perspective.  These are important themes that have resonated with me ever since I first started following his principles in investing. The key lessons that I learnt are: 1.  Embracing a long term perspective :  One of the key lessons&
Lessons I Learnt From Warren Buffett's Final Meeting
"Mr Buffett’s decision to withdraw from the stock market has so far benefited Berkshire. The firm’s stock is up by 20 per cent in 2025, while the S&P 500 is down by 3 per cent. Now Mr Buffett and Mr Abel need to figure out what to do with their enormous pile of cash. There are worse problems to have, but Berkshire’s position reflects a tough environment for the sort of investing that made Mr Buffett famous. Lately, he has griped that there is not much out there to buy at a reasonable price. Even after the recent market tumult, valuations of listed companies are high relative to their historical levels." Taking note the Mr.Buffett feels there is historically high over valuation in the market now.
