NJASAP voices support for striking LIRR workersMay 18, 2026 2:04 PM
PR Newswire (US) Pilot union stands in solidarity with peers in fight for fair wagesCOLUMBUS, Ohio, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) has lent its voice to organized labor groups across the nation in support of the striking Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) workers. NJASAP represents the 3,700-plus professional pilots who fly in the service of NetJets Aviation, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company. The 3,500-member railroad labor force, represented by five different unions, walked off the job early Saturday morning after negotiators could not reach a deal on wages with operator Metropolitan Transportation Authority.The LIRR is the busiest commuter railroad in America, serving approximately 300,000 workers each day. "Our LIRR peers provide safe travel for more than two million people each week, and they do so with great efficiency, professionalism and competence," NJASAP President Capt. Pedro Leroux said. "A pay package that recognizes the magnitude of that responsibility is necessary and appropriate, demonstrating an abiding respect for that work and recognizing the sacrifices they have made to keep rail lines moving."Leroux continued, "While the cost of every single good and service we buy is increasing, LIRR wages have been stagnant for four years. Our fellow transportation workers – men and women who provide essential services to commuters in the Long Island area – deserve a fair compensation package that reflects the economic realities of living in this area.""We stand in solidarity with our LIRR peers," Leroux said.ABOUT NJASAP

PC: Don't know for sure, but many reports suggest SHM turnout was noticeably down this year. Air traffic in and out of Omaha for instance.

Negative on crowds being thin in Omaha, at least at the actual meeting today. "Standing room only in the arena itself and literally thousands watching from the attached convention center and various meeting rooms."

Not that thin, and the reviews are outstanding in terms of how pleased everyone is with the deep dives into the numbers and operating businesses. During the break CNBC has been interviewing a number of money managers and CEO's in attendance the reaction to Greg Abel and Ajit Jain and the morning session has been extremely positive. And note the buyback all was on one single day, March 4, at prices much higher than yesterday's close, taking the B shares up to around $500. So we now know where they deemed the valuation to be well under intrinsic value. Becky Quick interviewing Warren Buffett now.

"Berkshire Profits More Than Double on Gains in Insurance, Railroad, Energy Businesses" Cash and earnings grow. Buybacks continue. Apple grows. Omaha crowds thin without WB.

Berkshire’s operating results for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 are summarized in the following paragraphs. However, we urge investors and reporters to read our 10-Q, which has been posted at www.berkshirehathaway.com. The limited information that follows in this press release is not adequate for making an informed investment judgment.


Earnings of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 are summarized below. Earnings are stated on an after-tax basis. (Dollar amounts are in millions, except for per share amounts).

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) require that we include the changes in unrealized gains (losses) of our equity security investments as a component of investment gains (losses) in our earnings statements. In the table above, investment gains (losses) include losses of approximately $7.0 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and $7.4 billion in the first quarter of 2025 due to changes during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 in the amount of unrealized gains that existed in our equity security investment holdings. Investment gains (losses) also include after-tax realized gains on sales of investments of $5.8 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and $2.4 billion in the first quarter of 2025.


The amount of investment gains (losses) in any given quarter is usually meaningless and delivers figures for net earnings per share that can be extremely misleading to investors who have little or no knowledge of accounting rules.

On March 31, 2026, there were 1,437,903 Class A equivalent shares outstanding. At March 31, 2026, insurance float (the net liabilities we assume under insurance contracts) was approximately $176.9 billion, an increase of approximately $500 million since yearend 2025.


Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures in accordance with Regulation G are included herein.


Berkshire presents its results in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent, to the investing public and others who use Berkshire’s financial information. That presentation includes the use of certain non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net earnings, Berkshire shows operating earnings defined as net earnings exclusive of investment gains (losses), impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and other-than-temporary impairments of equity method investments.


Although the investment of insurance and reinsurance premiums to generate investment income and investment gains or losses is an integral part of Berkshire’s operations, the generation of investment gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, as previously described, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, we are required to include the changes in unrealized gains (losses) of our equity security investments as a component of investment gains (losses) in our periodic earnings statements. In sum, investment gains (losses) for any particular period are not indicative of quarterly business performance.

Original: Berkshire Hathaway Inc. First Quarter 2026 Earnings Release

BAC, JPM and much of the AAPL holdings were sold off/down well before Warren Buffett stepped up to Charmain only and turned over the CEO position to Greg Abel.

It has been less than stellar since Warren announced retirement......just sayin'

In retrospect, and with all due candor, as I follow holdings we have which BRK has sold off or down, it was a serious mistake for BRK to sell off its JPM stake and sell off huge chunks of its stakes in BAC and AAPL. But hindsight is always 20x20, and we have no plans to sell a single share of our BRK holdings

Berkshire's Deal for Accidental Chemicals Unite is a Winner as Chemical Stocks surge (Barrons today). Not to mention that BRK's large position in OXY common shares is +43.5% over the last 3 months

https://www.barrons.com/articles/berkshire-deal-for-occidental-chemicals-unit-is-a-winner-51a720f0

I understand. But its a similar concept. So far this year {knock on wood}, I'm beating their returns.

Mutual Fund? The investments are only a piece of the company. Its operating divisions and subsidiaries and their 400,000 employees are huge generators of profits and cash flow. SMH

It may or may not continue to do well. My only point is, tons of money went here because of Warren. Now, you're just like any mutual fund that needs to operate on its own merit. Maybe they'll maintain the great relationships they have with companies to acquire inside info. They're still a massive influence on the Market.
They've actually maintained better than I predicted they would. They've bounced back from their big loss in January.

The company recently disclosed that it began repurchasing shares on March 4 in a way that’s almost conspicuously un-Berkshire.

Berkshire usually lets buybacks surface later, tucked inside a quarterly filing. This time, it chose a spotlight, precisely because Greg Abel is newly in charge — and investors are newly jumpy.

Of course, Abel buying back shares would help the share price in itself.

fung: I am totally confident BRK will continue to be a very strong and profitable investment under Greg Abel's leadership. We will not be selling a single share, and if it drops much further will be adding shares. Although I do not believe such will be the case, if BRK stock were to drop precipitously on the eventual passing of Warren Buffett, we will be buyers and I am confident BRK will use a significant portion of its cash hoard to buy back a ton of shares......that is if BRK were to drop significantly on such an event.

We'll see I guess. He's only great if he makes you money. Replacing Warren Buffet is not the run of the mill replacement. Warren's name carried an unimaginable value. Nobody is jumping on board because of Greg Abel. I just think back to Peter Lynch.

I always knew Greg Abel would be a great successor to Warren Buffett as CEO, and his interview today on CNBC, coupled with the Form 4 he filed investing the total amount of what his take home pay after taxes will be this year in 2025 in 21 Berkshire Class A shares costing $15.3 million, is great and aligns himself totally as a partner with shareholders.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures in accordance with Regulation G are included herein.


Berkshire presents its results in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent, to the investing public and others who use Berkshire’s financial information. That presentation includes the use of certain non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net earnings, Berkshire shows operating earnings defined as net earnings exclusive of investment gains (losses), impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and other-than-temporary impairments of equity method investments.


Although the investment of insurance and reinsurance premiums to generate investment income and investment gains or losses is an integral part of Berkshire’s operations, the generation of investment gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, as previously described, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, we are required to include the changes in unrealized gains/losses of our equity security investments as a component of investment gains/losses in our periodic earnings statements. In sum, investment gains/losses for any particular period are not indicative of quarterly business performance.

Original: Berkshire Hathaway Inc. News Release

It is literally impossible for Berkshire to maintain the exact strategy Warren and Charlie were using. I'm starting to think towards the end Munger was the more prudent investor.
I have feared over the last 10 years that platform trading would change trading in the market. Now I think AI will. The government needs more controls in place.

We used to hold Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) before OXY acquired it with backing from Buffett and BRK. APC was a very successful company and profitable investment. OXY took on a ton of debt to get the deal done, but with BRK's backing and continued increasing of its stake, and with BRK buying OxyChem with OXY using those proceeds to any down even more of its debt, OXY is now on stronger footing with a much stronger balance sheet and controls a very valuable franchise. I tend to follow most of BRK's largest holdings on my iPhone stock market app.

"BRK's patience with its large 34% stake in OXY (+8.5%) is paying off." Thanks for mentioning OXY which I rarely look at. It's only about 3.8% of BRK. I wish BRK had held on to its once-sizable Deere stake. My very profitable Deere buy was a rare case where I went against a Buffett move.

BRK's patience with its large 34% stake in OXY (+8.5%) is paying off. Great Q out of OXY, strong beat on adj. earnings, reduction in debt by $5.8 billion in Q4 25', and increase in dividend.

That’s pocket change for Berkshire Hathaway. What’s your point?

Original: Berkshire Hathaway Inc. News Release

Ooops, $LECO....possibly the best run company in the history of ever.

Two excellent blue chips, CMI and EMR. My engineer son applied for a job at EMR years ago, What is $LEGO?

Three stocks forever
$CMI
$LEGO
$EMR
been saying this for a while now. All 3 at all time high with growing dividends.
FWIW, $BRK down since Warren announcement.

Over the years I always had some foreign investment exposure in my 401K, until more recently when it was all primarily S&P 500 Index fund, supplemented with T. Rowe Price Growth, and some value fund exposure. Over the years, my largest gains were from some Emerging Markets funds I had like 15-20% in for several years. I have always held JP Morgan Chase, and as Warren Buffett has said many times, he thought Jamie Dimon's lengthy letter and analysis each year is one of the best if not the very best. Jamie Dimon would frequently flag periods where the most growth worldwide would be in the emerging markets. But in later years, I did not keep funds invested in emerging markets. But I can recall a number of years when my emerging markets funds outperformed everything else by huge percentage gains.

For a half century at least, I've heard how it said that it was important to diversify ones portfolio with foreign and even emerging market stocks. For a half century I've ignored that "advice." Almost always, large cap US stocks and bonds have outperformed. My megacaps such as BRK and Boeing do provide some overseas exposure especially to Japan.

BTW, CPA kid told me about two months ago that he had put money in a Vanguard International Index fund. That fund is doing very well, beating my S&P 500 funds so far.

From this morning's The Barrons Daily

U.S. Stocks Are Being Trounced by Foreign Rivals. Play It Like Buffett.

It’s always easy to think things taste better on holiday than at home. But investors looking for appetizing bargains in overseas markets should consider whether there are stocks at a discount in the U.S. as well.

Foreign stock markets are outperforming the S&P 500 so far this year, with the standouts in Asia. Japan’s Nikkei 225 has been supercharged by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election victory. But South Korea’s KOSPI Composite is leading with a 26% gain so far in 2026, fueled by significant rises for memory-chip heavyweights SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics.

Some international diversification is probably a good idea. There are plenty of decent companies in other countries—just ask Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett, whose bet on Japanese trading companies is rapidly turning out to be a late-career masterstroke. Funds tracking a foreign index are a handy way to get diversification beyond the technology sector.

Foreign holdings can also act as a hedge against a weakening dollar with less volatility than the sharp swings in gold and silver prices so far this year. That could be particularly important amid the Trump administration’s seeming indifference toward the greenback. Federal Reserve governor Stephen Miran—who recently stepped down from his position at the White House—played down the dollar’s recent weakness in comments on Monday.

But that doesn’t mean investors should ignore opportunities that present themselves in the U.S. Some American stocks are being irrationally hit by fears of disruption by artificial intelligence. The latest example is the insurance sector, where shares dived Monday on news of the first AI insurance app to be built on ChatGPT. It’s hard to see how that justifies a 12% drop for broker Willis Towers Watson, which specializes in commercial insurance, a specialized and complex area that AI is unlikely to be able to tackle, at least in the near future.

Foreign flavor can be the thing to spice up any portfolio, but don’t ignore the virtues of home comforts.

Mods need to remove this post for spam.

And using them as collateral to short OTCs into the ground, like mmrf...

TRV is due for a dividend increase. Hasn't had one for about a year, not that I care much for taxable payouts.

My only other insurance stock, TRV, just broke above $300. It's likely too big for BRK to buy.

Only thing I do with my stocks is giving them to my kids. Neither son owns any BRK.

What-a-Market! BTW, Deere at $583 has been about my best stock lately. Pure quality and a wide moat. Too bad I never got around to buying more of it a few years ago. My original DE holding remains untouched.

NJASAP Applauds Passage of H.R. 7148, Praises Congress for Strengthening Aviation Safety, Stability & the National Airspace SystemFebruary 6, 2026 2:15 PM
PR Newswire (US)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) applauds Congress for advancing essential investments in aviation safety, stabilizing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations and reinforcing the integrity of the National Airspace System (NAS) as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, H.R. 7148.







The act includes several provisions of note to the 3,700-plus pilots who fly in the service of NetJets Aviation, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) subsidiary:The passage of H.R. 7148 supports critical functions of the Air Traffic Organization and aviation safety with $13.71 billion allotted to FAA operations.The act provides funding to hire roughly 2,500 new air traffic controllers (ATC) and 54 aviation safety inspectors to address the persistent staffing shortages threatening safety margins and NAS performance.H.R. 7148 allocates $4 billion to the Airport Improvement Program to improve facilities and equipment, enabling the replacement of aging radar and telecom infrastructure, upgrades to navigation and surveillance systems and the modernization of facilities.In addition to facilities, the act funds the modernization of FAA aeromedical technology systems to reduce medical certification backlogs with approximately $100 million routed to the Office of Aerospace Medicine.On behalf of the NJASAP Membership, NJASAP President Capt. Pedro Leroux praised lawmakers for delivering the long-term funding stability needed to sustain the world's most complex airspace system:"Congress has taken a decisive step to protect the safety and continuity of the National Airspace System by passing a full-year appropriation that prioritizes modernization, staffing and FAA readiness. As professional aviators who rely on these systems every day, we commend lawmakers for recognizing that airspace safety and stability are not optional, but are fundamental to the U.S. aviation industry and to public safety."Another critical provision that NJASAP strongly supports is the bill's explicit prohibition on privatizing U.S. air traffic control services, ensuring that America's airspace remains a public asset governed by safety-centric decision-making."We thank Congress for safeguarding the public interest by investing in Air Traffic Control and for keeping it under federal oversight," Leroux continued. "The NAS is a complex, interdependent system that must remain accountable to the American people; H.R. 7148 protects that principle."NJASAP urges federal leaders to continue prioritizing long-term aviation safety funding, ensuring future government shutdowns do not undermine the readiness of ATC, inspectors, TSA and other critical aviation personnel.ABOUT NJASAP Founded in 2008 as an independent labor advocate, the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) represents the professional interests of the 3,700-plus pilots who fly in the service of NetJets Aviation, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) subsidiary.

Miners Win as China's Export Ban Triggers 54-Nation Pact Reshaping Critical MineralsFebruary 6, 2026 1:00 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resource Corp. VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary — The global supply map just broke. China restricted critical tungsten exports to Japan in January[1], causing the United States to counter by rallying 54 nations and launching $30 billion in strategic financing[2]. This geopolitical chess match is rapidly de-risking domestic production. It position GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Sigma Lithium (NASDAQ: SGML) (TSXV: SGML) , Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B), Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), and Talon Metals (TSX: TLO) (OTCID: TLOFD) at the forefront of a massive capital rotation.This is a structural pivot, not a temporary blip. Nearly 75% of business leaders are prioritizing resilience over cost as trade barriers rise[3]. To cement this transition, VP JD Vance recently announced price floors and binding alliances with the EU and Mexico to end single-source reliance[4]. With sovereign capital and preferential trade zones now backing the sector, these companies are becoming essential pillars of the new industrial architecture.GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has confirmed anomalous tungsten mineralization at its Magno Property in northwestern British Columbia. The company's 2025 surface exploration program identified a previously undocumented tungsten zone at the Vines Lake showing, where assays returned up to 6,550 parts per million tungsten. These results validate historical tungsten data at the Kuhn and Dead Goat showings while expanding the known footprint across multiple structurally controlled skarn zones spanning approximately 1.3 kilometers of strike length."These results represent a meaningful step forward in defining Magno as a large, zoned, intrusion-related mineral system," said Robert Birmingham, President and CEO of GoldHaven. "The confirmation of high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization, extensive tungsten, elevated copper within intrusive rocks, and strong bismuth-tellurium pathfinder anomalies reinforces our interpretation of a porphyry-driven system at depth. The emerging geological and metal zonation patterns share important similarities with Coeur Mining's Silvertip district, while Magno's broader critical-metal footprint highlights the potential for a multi-commodity discovery with district-scale upside."The tungsten discovery comes at a strategically important time for Western economies. China implemented strict export controls on tungsten throughout 2025, and the country controls over 80% of global tungsten supply. The metal possesses the highest melting point of any element, making it essential for cutting tools, defense applications including ammunition and armor, semiconductor manufacturing, and energy infrastructure. These export restrictions have elevated tungsten to critical mineral status across North America and Europe.The 2025 program at Magno successfully verified historical showings while discovering tungsten at Vines Lake where previous sampling had not documented the metal. Results from 357 samples revealed bonanza silver grades up to 2,370 grams per tonne alongside lead values exceeding 20% and zinc reaching 3.8% at the Magno and D-Zone carbonate replacement occurrences. Forty-five samples returned over 100 grams per tonne silver. The discovery of indium adds another strategic dimension, with values up to 334 parts per million. Indium is used in electronics and renewable energy technologies.GoldHaven has also completed its inaugural diamond drilling program at the Copeçal Gold Project in Brazil. Nine holes totaling 1,085.7 meters tested priority targets and discovered bornite, which suggests potential for a substantial gold-copper system. The company also confirmed high-grade copper mineralization at its Three Guardsmen Project, with surface sampling returning grades up to 15.85% copper.GoldHaven now controls 133,186.16 hectares across proven mining jurisdictions with multiple projects advancing simultaneously and assay results pending from Copeçal. All projects are supported by a comprehensive 43-101 Technical Report.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at: https://equity-insider.com/2025/10/02/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-historic-gold-district-exploration-2/In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:Sigma Lithium (NASDAQ: SGML) (TSXV: SGML) sold an additional 100,000 tonnes of high purity lithium fines at market prices equivalent to an adjusted net final price of $140 per tonne for 1% lithium oxide content. The company reaffirmed that remobilization of contractors and equipment at its Grota do Cirilo mine site is proceeding as planned and expected to conclude in January 2026.Sigma Lithium categorically denied recent media reports incorrectly characterizing an administrative inquiry by Brazil's Ministry of Labor and Employment as an "operational injunction," describing the coverage as part of a coordinated defamatory campaign. The company maintains the administrative inquiry does not constitute material information and does not impact its ability to operate or execute mine remobilization activities that will maintain an estimated 19,000 direct and indirect jobs in the Jequitinhonha Valley.Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B) completed its acquisition of OxyChem from Occidental for $9.7 billion, adding a leading producer of essential chemistry with operations across North America. OxyChem is a top three U.S. manufacturer of polyvinyl chloride, chlor-alkali and chlorinated organic chemicals, and calcium chloride supporting critical applications in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and manufacturing.OxyChem's products play an essential role in everyday life, supporting applications in manufacturing, automotive, personal hygiene, and residential and commercial construction. The company will continue to be managed by Wade Alleman, OxyChem president and CEO.Berkshire Hathaway and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities including insurance and reinsurance, utilities and energy, freight rail transportation, manufacturing, retailing and services. The acquisition strengthens Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio of industrial operations with a strategic producer of chemicals essential to modern infrastructure and manufacturing.Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO) and Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (Chalco) entered into a definitive agreement with Votorantim to acquire, through a joint venture owned 33% by Rio Tinto and 67% by Chalco, Votorantim's 68.596% controlling shareholding in Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio (CBA) for R$10.50 per share. The transaction values Votorantim's shareholding in CBA at approximately $902.6 million, with Rio Tinto's pro-rata amount being $297.8 million."This acquisition, jointly with Chalco, of Votorantim's controlling position in CBA's fully integrated aluminium supply chain in Brazil is aligned with our strategy to deliver value for shareholders by extending our low-carbon, renewable-powered aluminium footprint in rapidly growing markets," said Jérôme Pécresse, Rio Tinto Aluminium & Lithium Chief Executive. "Our partnership with Chalco brings together our combined operational excellence, innovation and unique project execution capabilities, unlocking the potential to create value for the benefit of our shareholders, as well as CBA's employees, customers and local communities."CBA is a vertically integrated low-carbon aluminium business supported by a 1.6 GW portfolio of renewable power generation assets. Rio Tinto International Holdings Limited will hold Rio Tinto's 33% shares in the joint venture, with the transaction subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.Talon Metals (TSX: TLO) (OTCID: TLOFD) reported an 8.85-meter massive sulphide intercept grading 9.60% nickel, 12.65% copper, and 11.12 g/t gold in drill hole 25TK0563B at its Vault Zone. Step-out drilling confirmed mineralization continuity approximately 79 meters below the Tamarack Resource Area, with drill hole 25TK0567 intercepting 35 meters of mixed massive sulphides starting at 645.26 meters."With the transaction with Lundin Mining now complete, our combined team is positioned to advance our four strategic priorities in parallel working to materially extend the Eagle Mine life, accelerating exploration in Michigan and Minnesota," said Darby Stacey, CEO of Talon Metals. "Our methodical approach of focusing on Borehole Electromagnetic anomalies coupled with precision drilling has continued to deliver success within the Vault Zone."The company's three in-house drill rigs continue actively drilling the Vault Zone with mineralization remaining open in all directions. Talon Metals operates the Eagle Mine in Michigan, currently the only primary nickel mine operating in the United States, positioning the company to supply critical minerals for domestic battery production.Article Sources:

Berkshire Hathaway named world's largest insurer.

you hope. I'd bet against it. If Warren and Charlie were so special, them being gone will change things....if you want to believe it or not.
Just consider that every year Warren has held a meeting to tell people how he does things. And yet, no one duplicates it.

It won't. The structure and culture are there and Greg Abel, Warren's hand-picker successor, will do a great job guiding BRK in the future. the leadership and management of each of the vast operating divisions and subsidiaries and BRK's 400,000 employees understand the culture and will carry on.

So, the important question is, when does Berkshire Hathaway cease to be Berkshire Hathaway?
I remember when Fidelity Magellan was no longer FMAGX.

BRK's Combs to head JPM's "Security and Resilience" initiative.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/berkshire-hathaway-stock-picker-todd-combs-departs-to-lead-new-strategic-investment-group-at-jpmorgan-154015380.html

The departure of Todd Combs is a loss for BRK, but the opportunity for Todd with JPM had to be very attractive even though he has to resign from the JPM Board of Directors. HIs replacement as CEO of Geico is solid, and Tedd Weshler can take care of the investing with Greg Abel at the helm. Unfortunately, at some point Ajit Jain will retire but I suspect Ajit has already determined who will assume his duties with the insurance businesses.
