Part 3/7:
The first scenario revolves around a fierce feud between two prominent financial journalists: Carol Loomis, a veteran writer for Fortune, and Becky Quick, a favored anchor on CNBC. The premise imagines a situation where Buffett is forced to choose sides, creating suspense about whom he would back.
Brendan proposes that Buffett would likely side with Carol Loomis. The reasoning behind this choice includes the fact that Loomis has been integral to Buffett's legacy, primarily through her role as editor of his annual letter to shareholders. This correspondence, cherished by many, acts as a significant channel for Buffett to convey his investment philosophies and updates on Berkshire Hathaway's performance.
