Hi there, thanks for all the wonderful work you are doing!

I have one comment on point 9 in this article. "87% (!) of Berkshire Hathaway’s assets are invested in only 10 stocks.". While this is true for their investment portfolio, it is far from true for their entire asset base. They have many other wonderful businesses that are not visible on that image. BNSF, BHE, GEICO, etc. In any case, even if we look at all of their assets, I am sure that the concentration will still be there, so your points are directionally correct. Only the numbers might be slightly off.

Cheers and keep it up!

Albert Einstein once said “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it”. Amazing that Mr. Buffett has earned 95% of his wealth after age 65. No wonder he will elected to wait on his enormous philanthropy. Thank you for sharing his timeless wisdom.
