What I have done is retain most of the proceeds received from recent real estate sales in cash, T-bills, money market funds and such. I see BRK taking a bit of a hit when Buffett bows out or checks out, so to speak, but I plan on holding onto it all as if I sold my LTCGs would be enormous.
I don't believe that the 94 year old Buffett is still heavily involved in the decision making process of where to invest. But he did have the wisdom to put together an excellent team to carry on implementing his successful investment strategy.
