Warren Buffett announced his plan to step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway by the end of the year, surprising many as he had previously said he wouldn’t retire. Buffett’s success as an investor turned Berkshire Hathaway into a conglomerate, earning him the nickname “Oracle of Omaha.” Some of his best investments include National Indemnity, American Express, Coca-Cola, Apple, and BYD. However, his worst investments include Berkshire Hathaway, Dexter Shoe Co., and missed opportunities like not investing in Amazon or Google. Buffett also sold banks too soon, missing out on potential gains.
