Buffett: The secret of my successor

Who will succeed Warren Buffett now that his top lieutenant David Sokol has resigned?

Warren Buffett says he won't answer any questions regarding l 'affaire Sokol, that he "held back nothing" in his public statement about David Sokol's departure. For Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, that shouldn't be enough.

Shareholders seem only slightly concerned with this episode, with Berkshire shares down just 2%. Yet it raises the question of whether the company is properly prepared for a post-Buffett future.
