Berkshire shareholders are ‘stunned' as Warren Buffett announces plan to step down after 6 decades

OMAHA, Neb. — Berkshire Hathaway shareholders who came from around the world to Omaha for the conglomerate’s annual meeting this weekend had no idea how historic this year’s event would be.Warren Buffett, the billionaire and CEO who turned what was once a failing Massachusetts textile company into a $1.2 trillion titan, announced his intention to step down by the end of the year. The news astonished investors, whom Buffett has long characterized as partners in his value investing mission.“I’m stunned,” said Jim Ross, a bookstore manager and shareholder who lives four doors down from the “Oracle of Omaha” in the Dundee–Happy Hollow neighborhood of Omaha.Buffett ended the marathon-length question-and-answer session by saying he would ask to leave the chief executive post by the end of the year at Berkshire’s board meeting on Sunday. Buffett said he had only told two of his children who are also on the board before making the announcement on Saturday, and that it would be a surprise for other members.He had previously named Greg Abel, chief of Berkshire’s energy unit, as his successor. Buffett said he would remain with the business in some capacity.“I think the time has arrived where Greg should become the chief executive officer of the company at year end,” Buffett said, before adding that he has no intention to sell any Berkshire stock.CNBCWarren Buffett speaks during the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting in Omaha, Nebraska on May 3, 2025.A 60-year runIf the board approves Buffett’s request, it will mark the end of the 94-year-old’s six-decade tenure at the helm. This year’s meeting, which annually draws tens of thousands of shareholders from around the world, highlighted his leadership with an exclusive book on the history of the firm. Berkshire auctioned signed copies, with the proceeds benefiting a local charity focused on the homeless community in South Omaha.The summit also included key changes that brought Buffett’s longevity to mind for shareholders like Grant Macklem, a Colorado Springs-based software engineer. Berkshire announced that Buffett would take questions for a shorter period than usual, and with a quicker break in between segments. There was also no introduction video, a component of the day that investors have come to love over the years.Macklem, who’s been an investor for about 15 years, said he wanted to come this year to ensure he could see Buffett at the head of the company at least one more time.“We could kind of see it coming someday, just, I didn’t expect it this year,” he said. But, “it’s better to have some announcement, some flow, some time to prepare for the markets, rather than a worst-case scenario.”Macklem said he considered adding to his stake ahead of the meeting, but didn’t get around to it. The 44-year-old said he’d consider picking up additional shares, which hit an all-time high in Friday’s session, if there’s any pullback next week.End of an era?Others who closely follow the company saw the writing on the wall. David Kass, a finance professor at the University of Maryland — who once held private lunches for his students and Buffett — said it became more likely after the chief executive began walking with a cane.Buffett’s earlier acknowledgement in the 2024 shareholder letter that it “won’t be long” before Abel would take over writing the annual memo further raised suspicion. He also mentioned his use of the cane in the letter, which was released in February.“The announcement memorializes some of what we already knew,” said Bill Stone, CIO at the Glenview Trust Company and a longtime shareholder. “Greg has effectively been running the operating businesses day to day. But he will also now take over capital allocation decisions.”While Berkshire attracts individual traders, the firm’s focus on value investing has also garnered dollars from bigger names. For those employing others’ capital, Berkshire’s succession plan has been an existential question that has loomed particularly large since the death of Charlie Munger, Buffett’s longtime friend and business partner, in 2023.“Berkshire is no longer a stock picker with great cash flow. Now a group of well-known businesses with cash to reinvest,” said Bill Smead, CIO of Smead Capital Management. “Losing Charlie and age have ended the era for Warren.”‘Not just an investor’While questions about Buffett’s future have become a key part of discussions about the company in recent years, there’s no question of the love for the CEO among shareholders. Meeting attendees sported shirts featuring Buffett’s likeness and shared their affection for his investing acumen and life advice in interviews. After announcing his plans to step down, the arena full of attendees — some of whom began lining up in the early hours of the morning for a chance to be in the room — gave him a standing ovation.Alex Harring | CNBCPolliana Elena Varnier wears a black hoodie with a photo of Warren Buffett.“We love the way he thinks and the way he lives,” said Brazil native Polliana Elena Varnier, who donned a black hoodie with Buffett’s face on it. “He’s not just an investor, he’s almost a philosophy.”Should Buffett exit his post, he leaves behind a legacy as both an internationally recognized business mogul and a local hero. Ross, the Berkshire shareholder and neighbor, said it’s hard to imagine what Omaha would look like without Buffett’s family.Ross’ bookstore, which is currently closed as the airport it’s housed in is under construction, has seen novels related to Buffett and Berkshire as some of its best sellers. He said the impact of Berkshire being based in Omaha boosts the community year-round: In addition to the tourism from the annual meeting, he’s seen travelers coming into town for meetings and to visit Berkshire’s multiple holding companies based there.“It’s been phenomenal for the city,” Ross said of Buffett and his conglomerate’s role in Nebraska’s largest city. “Thank God he moved back here from New York in the late ’50s.”

War Between The US And Canada - Is It Now A Real Possibility?

War Between The US And Canada - Is It Now A Real Possibility?

War Between The US And Canada - Is It Now A Real Possibility? Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us,Reality is absolutely downstream from fiction. Did the creators of South Park predict the future in their 1999 comedy film? I think we’re all suddenly realizing that prognostication is easy – Simply imagine the most absurd scenario possible and eventually it’s going to come true because we’re living in clown world.A war between Canada and the US opening up a portal to hell might be a bit of a stretch, but recent events lead me to believe that there are very real ingredients coming together that could trigger an active conflict with our neighbors to the north. Furthermore, these factors do NOT necessarily revolve around the trade war; the trade war is secondary.There is something explosive going on under the surface of US/Canada relations and it could very well end with a US invasion to the north.Most conservatives have viewed Trump’s rhetoric on Canada becoming the 51st state as a joke or a troll. At least, initially. Trump himself said it was a joke in the beginning, but now he thinks it might be a good idea. For today, lets imagine that this is a real agenda for the Trump Administration and consider the pros and cons.The Cons1) Trump looks like an “empire builder” which is widely considered poor form in the 21st Century. Most conservatives prefer that America stick to the American sphere and deal with American problems first before trying to change the geopolitical landscape.2) An annexation of Canada would mean welcoming millions of Canadian leftists into the US as voting citizens. Who knows how this would affect the election demographics. It’s better to leave Canada as a steam valve so that leftist LEAVE the US and live there instead. America has been suffering under the weight of increasing progressive control, and now that we are finally turning the tide we don’t want to screw it up by importing a bunch of socialists from across the border.3) On the global stage, the leftist establishment will claim that any US expansion is proof of a rising “fascist regime”. Not that most Americans really care what the rest of the world thinks, but we do still have to engage in diplomacy and alliances and trade to a point. The more the fascism narrative grows the harder it will be to engage with other countries on civil terms, fair or not fair.The Pros1) The US already pays for Canada’s defense anyway. Their proximity to us keeps them safe from invasion. Their defense budget is a tiny $27 billion, compared to America’s $997 billion. Their military is minuscule, with 63,000 active members and 22,000 reserve compared to America’s 2.86 million active duty troops and nearly 800,000 in reserve.Canada has never needed an army because the US is their daddy. If Canada was annexed, the billions expended to keep the country safe would make more sense in our modern post-cold war era.2) Though there is a risk of bringing millions of leftists into US citizenship if Canada became the 51st state, there is also a good chance most of those people would leave the country and move overseas. Frankly, the less leftists reside in North America, the better off we all will be, and taking Canada might run them all off to another part of the world.3) Bringing Canada into the fold would make tariffs unnecessary, allow for more efficient resource development and help dig Canada out of the desperate economic slump they are currently trapped in. But an even more important factor is keeping Canada out of the hands of the globalists within the European Union, who have been courting the nation for years and seeking far closer political ties. In military strategy this is called “area denial”.The War ScenarioThis brings us to what I believe is a potential build-up to war between the US and our neighbor. The election of Mark Carney basically seals the deal.The former central banker is a notorious high ranking member of the World Economic Forum and a devout globalist. He has called for a global digital currency system and supports the cashless society concept. He will no doubt increase tensions with the US on every front from trade to border controls and he WILL get friendly with governments that are hostile to America.Upon his election win his first act was to attack the US and Trump, hinting at closer connections with the EU, not to mention refusing to negotiate on trade.The EU issue, I believe, is a hot spark in a hay bale. As I’ve noted in recent articles, the EU is without any doubt going full blown authoritarian because they know they can. The vast majority of Europeans are disarmed making any rebellion much more difficult.They are locking up political opponents and citizens that speak out. They are instituting a vast online censorship apparatus. They are importing millions of third world migrants that can be used as enforcers to keep the native population in line. They are openly talking about forced military conscription and are courting the idea of war with Russia.European governments are the enemy of all free people. This can only lead to bloody conflict in the future.By extension, Mark Carney, head of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020, has deep connections to the European elites and is loyal to the WEF. I would not be surprised if he immediately organizes a campaign for Canada to join the EU, or, creates policies which give the EU a geopolitical foothold in North America. The union’s treaty currently requires that a country be a geographical part of Europe before it can join. There are also a number of obstacles for inclusion, but as we have seen with Ukraine, the EU is happy to bend or change the rules if it suits them.If membership is formed or a defense pact signed, the EU’s ongoing plan to create a “European Army” would then extend to Canada and put the US and Canada/Europe in a framework for escalation. Canada is working on such a defense deal with the EU right now.It’s important to understand that this war would start out as economic and quickly become ideological. The progressives believe that populist, nationalist and conservative movements are a “threat to democracy” (which means they are a threat to the globalist order). They view American conservatives as the last obstacle to their “Great Reset” (an agenda which Carney avidly supports) and they will do everything in their power to remove that obstacle.Carney WILL invite the EU to take a more active role in Canadian affairs and seek out their “protection”, economically as well as strategically. This would only exacerbate the diplomatic situation with the US and invite an American invasion.The tariffs will become perpetual under Carney because it’s unlikely he will seek honest negotiations. Rather, he will seek to provoke. Around 76% of Canada’s exports are sold to the US and there is no realistic replacement for this market. Canada does not have the means to ship their goods overseas without raising prices exponentially. They would lose their competitive trade advantage. Around 30% of Canada’s GDP relies on export sales. Canada’s economy will be destroyed by long term tariffs.This will inevitably lead to extra-economic retaliation; meaning, Canada will seek a means to hurt the US beyond reciprocal tariffs because tariffs will not help them. They will try to cut off oil exports to the US even though they have no alternative buyers. They will cut off the hydropower that they sell to states like New York, Minnesota and Michigan. They will try to interfere with US shipping lanes that cross into Canadian controlled waters (Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway).Again, this would elicit a war response from the US and victory would be swift. The existing Canadian government would have zero chance of staying in power.For those that think a conflict with Canada sounds ridiculous, I would remind them that times are changing rapidly. What you might think of as the status quo for geopolitics today is over. As globalism breaks apart we are entering the wild west, so saddle up and sack up. There’s no room for normalcy bias anymore.I predict that within the next two years there will be serious talk of portions of Canada (like Alberta) seceding over to the US as Carney crushes citizens with carbon taxation, increased censorship, continued mass immigration and gun bans. The new Primer Minister will make every effort to make Canada as draconian as Europe.More progressive parts of Canada will pursue EU membership. And, the idea of war will not sound so crazy anymore. In fact, I suspect it will be a common debate around the average American and Canadian dinner table.Again, with a globalist ghoul like Mark Carney in control of Canada the chances for heightened tensions are immense and unfortunately a large enough percentage of Canadians are gullible enough to follow his lead thinking they can win. Make no mistake, a war with the globalists is brewing and Canada is currently leaning globalist. This might very well mean a conflagration between Americans and Canadians in the near future.* * *If you would like to support the work that Alt-Market does while also receiving content on advanced tactics for defeating the globalist agenda, subscribe to our exclusive newsletter The Wild Bunch Dispatch.
