Warren Buffett has spent nearly 60 years at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway, shaping markets, moving capital, and delivering the kind of steady, deadpan commentary investors treat as its own economic indicator.
Even as he prepares to step back from daily leadership after decades in charge, he has no intention of disappearing. Earlier this month he said he plans to "go quiet," but he also made it clear he'll keep writing his annual Thanksgiving letter. For a man who prefers substance over spectacle, it was a fitting promise.
