The highlights of the 2025 Buffett Shareholder Meeting are here, a 500-word summary of the key points from four and a half hours of Q&A.

Buffett stated, "Trade should not be a Weapon;" trade and tariffs can be acts of war. The fiscal policy of the USA scares me; when the government takes irresponsible actions, the value of MMF can become 'terrifying.' The luckiest days are those on which I was born in the USA; I plan to continue Holding shares of Japanese trading companies for fifty to sixty years. The recent fluctuations in the USA stock market are not significant; there may be investment opportunities within the next five years. By the end of the year, Abel is expected to take over as CEO, and I will not sell any Berkshire shares.
