QuestionerWhat is your fondest hope for Berkshire Hathaway moving forward in time?
WarrenWell, in a general way, I hope for two things. Obviously, I hope for decent performance. And I hope that the culture we have is maintained, which is both shareholder-oriented and manager-oriented, and that we are regarded as the best home in the world for large, wonderful family businesses. And I think the performance and those two goals will be intertwined in a way. And I not only hope, but I fully expect that what we've tried to build into Berkshire lives far beyond, you know, my tenure as CEO. And I think it will because, A, we've got the right candidates to succeed me. And beyond that, we have a board, we have a bunch of managers that have all seen how well the system works. So I think that, I think we have about a stronger culture, as you can find in this country among American businesses. I would say that I would like to see Berkshire even more deserved to be an exemplar, and I would like to see it have more actual influence on changes in other corporations. I think there are things that have happened here that will be useful to others. We'd also like it to have the oldest living managers, but that's It's a minor point.
