Unfortunately, assessing management’s ability is one of the harder jobs (in my opinion). Especially as a retail investor, as it is hard enough to get responses from most company’s investor relationships, much less actually talking with senior management.It also seems that as Berkshire Hathaway has grown, that he is focusing more on capital intensive businesses (other than the insurance section of the company), such as the railroad and Mid American, as they are about the only things that can really even attempt to move overall earnings at this point.
