Profit was always his motive
“Profit was always his motive”
As it should be for any company - legally earned profit.
As a BRK shareholder, profit is what I want his motive to be. He’s running a business. If he starts being motivated by something other maximizing long-term profits, he should step down and turn over the reins to one of his young whippersnapper lieutenants... like 96-year-old Charlie Munger.
