By young he means 50-60 range of age.

If you're interested in joining the race, you'll face some stiff competition for what one Buffett observer called the best job in money management. And yet, despite overwhelming interest in the position, finding somebody capable of taking the investment reins from Buffett will be an almost impossible task, Berkshire shareholders said.

He needs to hire someone with emerging market experience. The real opportunities are in China and India.
