Read nothing else: The tweet below is a perfect explanation of why America, which has the greatest athletes and infrastructure, will never compete against the greatest countries in the World Cup.
Greg Abel had Warren Buffett speak at start of the 2026 Berkshire Hathaway AGM.
Buffett spent most of it praising Tim Cook, seated a few rows behind next to John Ternus. Since 2016, Berkshire’s $35B initial investment officially grew to $185B.
“About 10 years ago, we made a commitment to move 10% of Berkshire Hathaway resources and turn it over to a person who was not well known at the time. We did that by roughly spending $35B to buy stock in Apple.
We turned that money over to Apple to essentially make Berkshire look good without any work by us…which is our preferred way of operating.
Ten years later, the $35B — counting dividends, realized appreciation and unrealized appreciation — has turned into $185B pretax. And I didn’t have to do a damn thing.
Our largest holding is still Apple [$60B+].
When Tim Cook went into the top position at Apple [in 2011], he succeeded a legend. Steve Jobs. Everyone in America knew his name. Not many knew Tim’s name.
Steve did these marvelous things, developing products and he had an untimely death. Everyone asked who would run the company. […]
How would you like to step in the shoes of Steve and come through with [Cook’s record]? It’s one of the miracles of American business management. Anyway, thank you Tim.”
