Warren Buffett today announced that his successor at Berkshire Hathaway, at least as far as its values, will be... after an exhaustive, years-long, global search... his son, Howie Buffett. Howie, in case you haven't followed his career closely, is a 56-year-old corn and soybean farmer.
Really? Really?
It would have at least been funny if he'd named distant cousin Jimmy to the position —imagine Wasted away again at Berskshire Hathaway or Why don't we get drunk, and invest? — but this is just... strange.
Can't wait to hear investor reaction at the next BH Annual meeting.
