Lets be clear here Buffet is not saying Apple DID do something illegal - just that he thinks Jobs' health might be a material fact (I think that is a distinction.. isn't it?).
What I got was that Buffet finds it a bit underhand/secretive (not that there is necessarily wrong with that so long as it was legal etc.) in a way that doesnt sit well with his "way of doing it".
- padmanabhan01 17y agoBuffett is around 80. He hasn't announced his successor yet. and he finds it a bit underhand/secretive about Jobs not disclosing his health?
- ErrantX 17y agoIs 80 too old now? He seems perfectly able for another several more years at the very least. I'm sure if an illness strikes him down he would tell people :)
- nostrademons 17y agoIt's possible that Buffett doesn't know who his successor is - last I heard, he had a shortlist of 4 candidates and was evaluating them all. That's different from knowing if you're about to have a liver transplant...
- wayne 17y agoHe knows. In his annual report he wrote that the Berkshire board knows who on the shortlist to appoint should something happen to him.
- nostrademons 17y agoThat's different from knowing who will succeed him should the trial period end uneventfully and he pick his successor normally... Though one could argue that just who his successor is in the event of death is still a "material fact"...
- byrneseyeview 17y agoHe has announced the existence of successors.
