About this episode

The episode discusses whether Margo should continue investing in Berkshire Hathaway under Warren Buffett's guidance amidst market uncertainties.

Fifty-eight-year-old Margo has amassed a very healthy retirement fund, in part by buying shares in Berkshire Hathaway, the investment company run by Warren Buffett. When even the ‘Sage of Omaha’ is reducing his exposure to certain US stocks, Margo wonders if it’s time for her to follow his lead and look to invest in other parts of the world.  Presenter Claer Barrett, the FT’s consumer editor, is joined by not one but two FT columnists: Simon Edelsten, Partner at Goshawk Asset Management, and finance veteran and Skin in the Game columnist Stuart Kirk. Together, they chew over Buffett’s succession plans, the lure of Japanese stocks and why even Margo’s seven-figure portfolio could be particularly vulnerable to a market correction.
