TLDR
A Herald article shared by a user identifies Howard Buffett as Berkshire Hathaway’s new chairman. A separate September 21, 2026 post says Warren Buffett has stepped down after more than 60 years at the helm.
That post revisits his $1 million bet on buying and holding the S&P 500 for 10 years. It cites a 125.8% return for the index versus 87.7% for the best of five competing funds, presenting the result as an argument for patient investing rather than daily trading.
