Wow, I knew he was old, but had no idea he wasn't well. Aftermarket movement of BRK.A/BRK.B seems to be muted, so I guess right now investors aren't too worried about the future of Berkshire.
Genuinely sad to hear. His wit and sage advice will be missed. For anyone who has the means to visit a Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting, it's worth it at least once.
Pretty Sharp til the end. The fact that people were still listening to what he has to say about investing in Alibaba as recently as this month is actually pretty nuts (in an impressive way).

Most of the trades in that stock have been routed through dark pools (they don't hit lit exchanges), so even if there are (huge) trades you wouldn't necessarily see the price move.
I don’t know if it’s right or wrong but regardless, it’s extremely interesting as far as assertions go.
