Why markets have disconnected from the economy, clean energy stocks prove resilient, and has Buffett been replaced as the world’s greatest capitalist? GlobeInvestor

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Josh “The Reformed Broker” Brown is the CEO of New York-based Ritholtz Wealth Management and a frequent guest on CNBC. In a recent podcast appearance, Mr. Brown speculated on the interesting possibility that Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos has replaced Warren Buffett as the world’s greatest capitalist.

“I came away from the Berkshire Hathaway [annual meeting] very dispirited”, said Mr. Brown. “I felt like it was just the decline of Buffett and Buffett-ism."He went on to suggest that “If Berkshire is on their way out as the bastion of capitalism as a religion, maybe it’s the Bezos letter that we start to enshrine as the annual check-in with the world’s greatest capitalist.”

Both Mr. Galloway and Mr. Brown interpreted the move as indicative of a CEO who is truly and decisively running a giant company for the long term. Mr. Brown also said, “you could not dream up a better conglomerate than Amazon” to deal with the current pandemic.
