OMAHA, NE – Berkshire Hathaway’s nominal CEO, Greg Abel, has confirmed that his daily routine involves extensive, almost constant, communication with former CEO Warren Buffett. Sources close to the company indicate that Abel’s primary responsibility appears to be the meticulous transcription and subsequent public dissemination of Buffett’s ongoing directives, insights, and musings on the current state of the market.

“It’s a truly collaborative process,” Abel stated in a recent interview, carefully enunciating each word as if reading from a teleprompter only he could see. “Mr. Buffett provides the strategic vision, the unparalleled wisdom, and the occasional anecdote about See’s Candies. My role is to… well, to ensure those invaluable perspectives continue to guide the company’s trajectory, often verbatim.”

Analysts suggest this arrangement ensures a seamless transition of power, primarily by ensuring no power actually transitions. “It’s less a succession plan and more a highly efficient, two-person ventriloquist act,” commented financial pundit Dr. Evelyn Thorne. “Abel is clearly a brilliant operator, but his current job description seems to be ‘chief interpreter of the oracle’s coughs.’”

Insiders report that the daily calls often involve Buffett dictating investment strategies while simultaneously reviewing his mail, ensuring optimal multi-tasking. Abel reportedly keeps a dedicated 'Buffett-isms' journal, which currently contains 17 volumes and is still growing.
