The final day of 2025 saw a curious coincidence of numbers in the investment world. As Warren Buffett stepped down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway after 60 years at the helm, shares of his investment firm slid $600 or 0.1 percent. In these decades, the Sage of Omaha’s steady hand delivered an unprecedented 60,00,000-plus percent return to investors—more than 130 times the S&P500’s. His focus on long-term investing and not avoiding industries out of fashion with other investors are lessons his legions of fans have taken to heart. Let’s hope today’s generation will learn from the polycrises engulfing our fractious world to deliver something as durable and rewarding.
