In fact, he builds up the reputation his menagerie of "very experienced people" to run individual businesses - I wonder how they will run things when Warren isn't around.
While you're at it, take some time to check out the Berkshire Hathaway site. It directly services what they're trying to do: provide investor information.

There has been a lot of talk recently of him naming Charlie Munger as his successor. I think this letter may have been a handoff of sorts. He may make a specific announcement at the meeting.

He sometimes jokes about it but Charlie is 91.

Could be. From the end of the letter:
"Both the board and I believe we now have the right person to succeed me as CEO – a successor ready to assume the job the day after I die or step down."
