Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, is stepping down as Berkshire Hathaway CEO, citing the rumble of Father Time, but swears he's still got the eye of the tiger for investments.

Sixty Years and Still Swingin'!

Alright listen up ya punks! It's your old pal Rocky here to tell ya 'bout somethin' I read. This Warren Buffett guy see? The big cheese at Berkshire Hathaway he's been runnin' the show for get this SIXTY YEARS! That's longer than I been arguin' with Adrian and that's sayin' somethin'! He's finally sayin' 'Yo maybe it's time I let someone else take a few punches.'

The Clock is Ticking'!

Now this Buffett he's no spring chicken see? He's pushin' 95! He told the Wall Street Journal that he started feelin' the years catch up to him around 90. Ninety! I was still takin' on Apollo Creed at that age... well maybe not. But the point is even the best of us gotta listen to our bodies right? Like Mickey used to say 'Too much is never enough' unless you're talking about gettin' old! Then it's just... enough.

Balboa's Got the Stumbles Too!

He said he was losin' his balance sometimes and forgettin' names. And his eyes? Forget about readin' the newspaper without a good squint. It's like when I was tryna read Mickey's trainin' schedule after gettin' pounded by Clubber Lang – couldn't see nothin' straight! I get it pal. I get it!

From Rags to Riches... and Back to Rags (Just Kidding!)

Berkshire Hathaway though? It wasn't always glitz and glamour ya know? Buffett took this old busted up textile mill and turned it into a monster! A conglomerate they call it. Insurance railroads the whole shebang! Now it's worth almost $1.2 trillion! That's more than I made in all my fights combined... even after tax!

Enter the New Champ: Greg Abel

So who's takin' over? Some guy named Greg Abel. Vice Chairman no less! The board voted him in as CEO starting January 1 2026. That gives him plenty of time to get ready. Buffett ain't goin' nowhere though he's stayin' on as Chairman. I mean you can't just ditch the guy who built the whole empire right? It’s like tryin' to replace Mickey you just can't!

The Eye of the Tiger Still Burns Bright!

But Buffett says he's still got the smarts! He can still make them investment decisions like it's nothin'. Especially when the market goes crazy. That's when he pounces buyin' up everything at a discount! 'I don't get fearful when things go down in price,' he says. 'And that really isn't a function of age.' See that's the spirit! Age is just a number ya know? It's about heart! And this Buffett guy he's still got the eye of the tiger!
