And I hope the audience enjoys it. I've known Ron for many years. He's one of the most incredible critical thinkers, original thinkers, and investors that I know, and I like long form. There's no way that I could do just an hour with this guy. So this is gonna be long. We're gonna cover everything. I hope you're really gonna enjoy it. And my goal is to get the best out of Ram, and there probably will be some things, maybe geopolitically, as I keep abreast of Ram's x account, of course, that I think we have some varying opinions and disagreements, but that's what makes this awesome.

When birth when Buffett bowed out after the Berkshire Hathaway conference, that was the top in Berkshire Hathaway stock. That's one observation. So from a market sentiment perspective, people are feeling more depressed that he's buying out. You can see it in the prices. Two is Buffett was the first investment influencer, and he created a cultural ritual and a pilgrimage of traveling to Omaha. And if you go on that pilgrimage, you'll see all the different brands from Dairy Queen to Coca Cola and to other confectioneries and consumer staples and See's Candy there. And people go there, and they h

So I think there's a lesson in all of t
activity and country. Extremely, pardon me, but it's extremely difficult to ever replace a Warren Buffett. So, sure, short term is gonna be gyrations in the stock. Like you mentioned, Greg, I'm sure is highly capable. Otherwise, Buffett wouldn't be doing this. But that being said, markets are not always logical. There's no question there must be some vulnerabilities, I would think, relative in Berkshire Hathaway. What would you do if you were an allocator? Do you sit and wait? Do you be tactical now? And what's your perspective? As
