Buffett Reassures Investors on His Firm’s Future

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —

Billionaire Warren Buffett says he remains confident in his company’s prospects even though he recommended in his will that most of his wife’s inheritance be invested in an S&P 500 index fund.

Berkshire Hathaway’s chairman and CEO spent hours answering questions Saturday at the conglomerate’s annual meeting in Omaha.

Buffett says all his Berkshire stock will go to charities after his death, and he has urged all the recipients to hold the shares as long as possible.
