Please ask your questions about Berkshire's annual meeting and Q1 results in this comment section.
You've previously written about Berkshire's culture and the potential for its endurance when the top leadership eventually changes. I just read in the WSJ that only 0.03% of Disney stock was owned by insiders at the end of Q1, compared to an average of 2.09% for the broader S&P 500. Both Including and excluding WEB & CTM, what percentage of BRK stock was owned by insiders at the end of Q1? How meaningful a metric do you think this is for shareholders to watch as the next chapter of BRK unfolds? How important is Greg Abel's personal ownership (is this a dollar amount or % threshold we should watch for)? Is this broader metric (broad insider ownership) more meaningful than obsessing over how many shares Greg Abel personally owns?
