Billionaire Warren Buffett warned shareholders yesterday that many companies will fare better than his Berkshire Hathaway in the decades ahead because of its massive size though others might say the company’s prospects will dim because “Father Time” is catching up with the 95-year-old icon who plans to step down as CEO in January. But Buffett also reassured shareholders that he remains confident in his successor.
