Warren Buffett Is Still Setting Berkshire’s Direction. For How Much Longer?

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. posted its best earnings in its history in the last quarter of 2021. Its stock is trouncing the S&P 500. And Warren Buffett’s star power seems to be as strong as ever.

More than 40,000 people are expected to descend on Omaha this weekend for Berkshire’s first in-person shareholder meeting since 2019. They will be traveling hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of miles just to have a chance to hear from the famed “ Oracle of Omaha,” who turned 91 in August.
