QuestionerThe creator of this question, Jim Kiefer of Atlanta, has even higher expectations for Warren's longevity than Charlie does. Mr. Buffett, we all hope you win the record as mankind's oldest living person. But at some point, you and our Charlie will go. And Berkshire stock may then come under selling pressure.
WarrenI think the stock is more likely to go up. If I died tonight, I think the stock would go up tomorrow. And there'd be speculation about breakups and all that sort of things. So it would be a good Wall Street story that, you know, this guy that's obstructed breaking up something that where some of the parts might sell for more than the whole, they wouldn't necessarily be probably be worth less than the whole, but might sell for temporarily from more than the whole. And it would happen. So I would bet in that. direction.
