There are many opportunities for improvement within Berkshire’s sprawling Manufacturing, Service, and Retailing group and I am actually more confident that Greg Abel will address these issues than I would be if Warren Buffett had continued serving as CEO. While Mr. Buffett is almost certainly a superior capital allocator, Mr. Abel is almost certainly a stronger operating manager. With Mr. Buffett continuing to actively serve as Chairman, shareholders might enjoy the best of both worlds, hopefully for several years to come.
