Chairman's Letter Excerpt
We do not measure the success of Berkshire's operating companies by the calendar quarter. We measure it by the decade, and at times by the generation. Shareholders who entrust us with their capital deserve managers who think as owners — because that is precisely what they are.
The letter in full is contained within the 2024 Annual Report. See the Financial Index below.
