Warren Buffett tritt auch als Verwaltungsratspräsident von Berkshire Hathaway zurück

In an annual shareholders' letter, 96-year-old Warren Buffett announced his resignation as chairman of the board of Berkshire Hathaway. His son, Howard Buffett, will assume the role of president of the board. Despite stepping down as CEO, Howard Buffett will remain on the board and contribute his esteemed judgment and insights to the company.

Berkshire Hathaway, a billion-dollar investment firm, is known for Buffett's long-term strategy and focus on acquiring valuable companies at fair prices. He regularly outperformed the overall market and announced his departure from the CEO position to Greg Abel, a long-time colleague. Berkshire Hathaway plans to recover from the weakening American real estate market and is stepping back from tech stocks like Apple while re-entering the media industry by investing in The New York Times.

The company's share price is at its lowest point, and Buffett warns against the "gambling frenzy" of investors.
