Inside the Berkshire Shareholder Meeting as Buffett Says He's Stepping Down

It may have come as a surprise to those of us in attendance at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting in Omaha this Saturday, but Warren Buffett gracefully said he'll be stepping aside as CEO at the end of the year, ending the greatest 60-year run in business history. The 94-year old paved the way for his successor, Greg Abel, but reassured investors and the Berkshire faithful that he'll be hanging around to provide his infinite wisdom to the new leadership team, and to the rest of us. Listen to Warren's enduring words of wisdom, and to his faithful investors and students who are on the lifelong investing journey with him.
