Quite the vote of confidence.

I find it interesting that whenever something is written about Trump it includes his age. And my reading of the selection, does not mention that he is 94 as he retires.

[Raycpa]

My apologies, I missed the reference to his age at the bottom of the 4th paragraph.

shocked

HE IS 94!

One of the few rich people who seemed to keep it in perspective. Trump is another one I think who kept a level head about being rich.

Warren Buffett is similar to Rupert Murdoch, in that both men have been blessed with very long lives, while maintaining most, if not all of their mental capabilities.
Probably,the fact that they are stratospherically rich, provide enough stimulation to keep the mind whirling.
“What should I buy? What should I sell? What is better off being donated for tax purposes?”

Somehow I don’t think he’ll stop daytrading.

[llevrok]

I hope he saved enough. You can’t totally rely on social security these days.....

Brilliant move by Warren, obviously planned well ahead of time. I’ve waited for this with anticipation. A great opportunity to get a ‘sale price’ on the best stock in the world, we’ll how people react.

Do you mean by selling stocks and moving so much to cash/treasuries so they can buy it back on the cheap?

At 94?

Another old guy who never understood what it means to step aside and let your work speak for itself. Instead, he as an ego as large as his fortune.

When I saw him kill Keystone to make billions on his trains, it made me sick to my stomach.

I am not a “kill the rich” person. But he is not a nice or good person.

(“94 Year Old Retires — World ‘Shocked’”)

It’s unheard of!!!

No precedent!!!

The Wall Street Propaganda Journal will breathlessly report on this “financial
omen”

[sasquatch]

Have not paid attention. What happened to Charlie Munger?

[laplata]

Lol.

He’ll be okay. Now he’ll concentrate on the hot women.

[Steven Scharf]

Charlie Munger died in November2023 at 99 years old.

[laplata]

You’re right. He’s not a decent person at all.

Interesting comment, never heard that before. I thought FJB killed the Keystone pipeline. For what its worth.
