Review: Dear Mr. Buffett, I just heard on TV that you are planning to share your fortune with those less fortunate. I have a Learning Center Program in the inner-city of Paterson, NJ that really needs help in order to build a new Center. We have been located in the basement of one of our building's laundry and storage room. Can you please help us to build a new Center in the name of Sister Merita who died of cancer. Please let me know. God bless you Sister Christina Schoen, Youth Director

Review: True, Nicely has done a nice job with Geico, but this pales in comparison to Ajit's dominence with National Indemnity. Consider the following statistic: In 2000, Jain's Reinsurance Division was the most profitable of Berkshire's insurance companies. Jain's division delivered a record $7.8 billion in float at a cost of $175 million. Thus, while only managing 14 people, Jain has illustrated his ability to outperform.

Review: Ajit Jain is by far the most qualified of the candidates. He runs the most profitable of Berkshire's insurance companies. He would be a brilliant replacement.

Review: Hands down the job should go to Ajit Jain. buffet and Munger always talk higly of him and his returns are un-heard off. Jain can weather the storm and take BRK to the next level.

Review: Sokol will get the nod. He's dynamic, young, and is capable of leading the very diversity required of a company as complex as BRK. This is what he has done with MEHC. What other candidate has a similar background of non-insurance related businesses?

Review: not quite the anointing of a heir if he has hedged his bets saying things could change...sounds more like a holding statement to mollify the folks who keep asking who next

Review: I believe that Nicely will get the nod. Buffett always speaks very highly of him in the annual letter. Furthermore, at GEICO, he manages a portfolio of holdings that is separate from Berkshire's but operates on the same model as Berkshire Hathaway. Float from insurance underwriting is used as cheap capital to make the real money in investments or outright ownership in other companies.

Review: The stock is a bargain based on any reasonable appraisal. Buffett will go out with a bang for loyal shareholders. The successor will probably split the stock and pay a dividend. It will go into the S&P 500 Index as well.

Review: Yes somebody taking Buffett place will have to work hard first to work under the image of a giant. Give first sign of his capability and add immediately donovo---a management style a vigorous strategy. It wouldn't be easy but this will have to be done to schakel the giant image.
