When Buffett dies, people will freak out. But he's an obsessive man, and he's left a clear path for the company if the event he passes away. I will say this: owning Berkshire is like being a Bulls fan when Jordan was playing and winning all those championships: there's absolutely nothing like it. It doesn't feel like you're investing, it feels like you're participating in something much bigger than yourself. As a proud B share owner myself, I’ll agree to what’s been said.

I think that he does have enough in place that Berkshire would continue to be a good company, but short-term I imagine people would panic. mfd, yeah, I agree with you there.

Even though Warren is potentially making really good moves for the longer term for Berkshire the stock will take a big beating. Look at apple on the rumor that Steve Jobs had a heart attack. I think Berkshire would get hit even harder and to the point where it might take a long time to recover.
