"When the time is right" doesn't really mean much when you're 94 years old.
Hmmm, the stock referenced in this thread, that Buffet is liquidating, is owned by BRK, and he is the CEO of that company. That has nothing to do with how he manages the assets in his personal estate. As the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, he has a responsibility to do what he feels is right for the constituents of the company, not himself. The time horizon of his personal estate and BKR are mutually exclusive.
