Buffett to Shareholders: “I’m Going Quiet”

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, the 95-year-old head of Berkshire Hathaway, has marked the end of an era by publishing what he called his “final letter” to shareholders on 10 November. The “Oracle of Omaha” announced that he is “going quiet”, bringing to a close his famous annual essays that have guided generations of investors for nearly six decades.

In this letter, Buffett:
→ noted that he will continue to communicate with shareholders through an “annual Thanksgiving message”;
→ announced a new $1.3 billion donation to four family foundations;
→ paid tribute to the late Charlie Munger and reflected on the “incredible luck” that has shaped his life.

Buffett also confirmed that his successor, Greg Abel, will formally assume the role of CEO by the end of 2025, expressing full confidence in the man who will oversee the legacy of one of the world’s greatest investors.

Technical Analysis of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)

The technical outlook for Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B shares (BRK.B) in 2025 appears mixed. In spring, the stock faced two downward catalysts:
→ April: announcement of new tariffs by Donald Trump;
→ May: a quarterly earnings report that fell short of expectations.

Since then, BRK.B has formed a descending channel, within which:
→ a key low (point A) was established;
→ a strong August report sparked a confident rebound towards the channel’s upper boundary (point B);
→ that upper boundary has since acted as persistent resistance.

Given these developments, it is reasonable to assume that:
→ the move from B → C could represent a correction following the earlier A → B impulse;
→ the $488 level, which shows signs of support, may enable the bulls to break through resistance and resume the longer-term uptrend.

This analysis of BRK.B can be summed up with Buffett’s final piece of advice — one that transcends markets: “Kindness costs nothing, but it is priceless.”
