Based on Buffett, Abel will have final decisions on all capital allocation for Berkshire including stock picks.
For me, I have full confidence and trust in Abel as I agree that the chief executive should be somebody that can weigh buying businesses, buying stocks, doing all kinds of things that might come up at a time when nobody else is willing to move.

This is a $19 billion increase from their cash balance seen in Q4 2023, and a 70% increase in cash since 2022.
being in accounting and having experiences in different industries, he would have acquired a vast knowledge and under the guidance of uncle Buffett and uncle Charles, he would be equipped with the right tools to take on this role...
moreover, I would very much believe he has a strong and dedicated team behind to support him...
so let's cheer for him and his team and cheer them on... as they continue the legacy...
