2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting

I am eager to participate in the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)$  $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$  Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 3, as it marks the 60th anniversary of Warren Buffett's acquisition of the company. At 94 years old, Buffett's continued presence is inspiring, and with Greg Abel taking on a more prominent role, I am curious about what insights and updates this meeting will bring. I have several questions I would like to ask Buffett, focusing on his holdings, succession plans, and investment strategies for the current market environment.

Warren Buffett

Context of the Meeting

This year's meeting is a significant milestone, celebrating 60 years since Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway and transformed it into a global conglomerate. Buffett, despite his age, has confirmed he will attend in person, which reassures me of his commitment to engaging with shareholders. However, with Greg Abel stepping into a more prominent role, I anticipate a gradual transition in leadership. This dynamic makes the meeting a critical opportunity to gain clarity on the company's future direction and Buffett's ongoing influence.

Thoughts on Holdings

I am particularly interested in whether Buffett will provide further guidance on Berkshire Hathaway's holdings. The company's portfolio, which includes major stakes in companies like Apple $Apple(AAPL)$  , Coca-Cola $Coca-Cola(KO)$  , and American Express $American Express(AXP)$  , has been a cornerstone of its success. Given recent market volatility, I would like to ask Buffett how he evaluates the current valuations of these holdings and whether he plans to adjust positions in response to economic conditions. Understanding his rationale for maintaining or divesting certain investments would offer valuable insights into his long-term strategy.


Succession Plans

With Greg Abel's increasing visibility, I am keen to learn if there will be new information about succession. While Buffett has previously endorsed Abel as his successor, I am curious about the timeline and specific responsibilities Abel will assume in the coming years. I would ask Buffett how he envisions the transition process and what measures are in place to ensure Berkshire Hathaway's culture and investment philosophy remain intact under new leadership. This clarity is crucial for my confidence in the company's future stability.


Investment Advice for the Current Market

I believe Buffett's perspective on the current market could be invaluable, especially given the economic uncertainties of 2025, such as inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions. I would ask him to provide investment advice tailored to today's environment—specifically, how he would approach asset allocation in a high-valuation market and which sectors he sees as offering the best opportunities for long-term growth. His timeless principles of value investing could help me navigate the complexities of the current financial landscape.

Broader Economic Outlook

Beyond specific investments, I am interested in Buffett's broader economic outlook. With his decades of experience, I would ask him how he assesses the risks of a potential recession in 2025 and what indicators he is monitoring most closely. Additionally, I would like to know his thoughts on the impact of a Trump administration on the U.S. economy, particularly in terms of tax policies, trade, and infrastructure spending. These macro-level insights could shape my investment decisions in the coming years.


Challenges for Berkshire Hathaway

I also recognize potential challenges that Berkshire Hathaway might face, which I would like to address through my questions. The company's massive size makes it harder to achieve the outsized returns of its earlier years, and I would ask Buffett how he plans to deploy the company's substantial cash reserves—estimated at over 150 billion dollars—to generate meaningful growth. Additionally, I am curious about how Berkshire is adapting to emerging trends like artificial intelligence and renewable energy, and whether these sectors will play a larger role in its portfolio.


Conclusion

In conclusion, I am looking forward to the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting as an opportunity to gain wisdom from Warren Buffett while also understanding the company's future under Greg Abel's leadership. My questions focus on gaining clarity about Berkshire's holdings, succession plans, investment strategies, and economic outlook, all of which will help me make informed decisions as a shareholder. I hope Buffett's responses will provide actionable insights and reinforce my confidence in Berkshire Hathaway's long-term prospects, even as it navigates a changing economic and leadership landscape.

      Since your time horizon is long, might as well just but those stable stocks like Berkshire or mag 7 or even SPY index ETF.
