托德•康布斯

所在公司：伯克希尔-哈撒韦

现任CEO：沃伦•巴菲特

    永远没人能取代“股神”巴菲特，但总得有人继承他的公司。巴菲特从CEO的位子上退下来之后，伯克夏尔哈撒韦公司很可能会把巴菲特的职权分成两个部分，由两人分别执掌，一人掌管公司，一人负责投资。负责投资的那位很可能就是托德•康布斯。康布斯本来是一名籍籍无名的对冲基金经理，但自从去年被聘入伯克夏尔哈撒韦公司后，康布斯也一夜之间成了名人。据我们所知，康布斯是目前唯一一个有可能最终接过巴菲特的投资职权的人，不过这也未必十拿九稳。《财富》杂志（Fortune）曾报道过，康布斯目前的职位被人们视为伯克夏尔哈撒韦公司的一次“长期试验”。他是否会成功？我们不得而知。不过看起来巴菲特这位“奥巴哈先知”这回在康布斯身上赌了一把。但需要再次强调的是，巴菲特目前仍没有退休的计划。

Todd Combs

Company: Berkshire Hathaway

Current CEO: Warren Buffett

    No one will ever be able to replace Warren Buffett, but someone will have to succeed him. Berkshire Hathaway will likely split up Buffett's duties when he is no longer CEO, with two different people splitting the responsibilities -- one running the company, the other investments. The second of those could be Todd Combs, the little-known hedge fund manager who was propelled to stardom last year when he was hired at Berkshire. He is the only known contender to eventually take over the investing piece of Buffett's duties, though the promotion is hardly in the bag. Fortune has reported that Combs' current position is being viewed as an "extended trial." Will he succeed? Who knows. It may seem like the Oracle of Omaha is betting on it, but then again, he has no plans to retire.
