In an interview with CNBC’s Becky Quick on March 31, Warren Buffett revealed that he still remains closely involved in investment decisions at Berkshire Hathaway, even after stepping down as the company’s chief executive at the beginning of the year. The legendary investor still comes into the office every day and remains hands-on, despite handing off the reins of the conglomerate to Greg Abel.

The Oracle of Omaha stated that he stays engaged with markets and his routine involves calling Mark Millard, Berkshire’s director of financial assets, before the opening bell to discuss market developments. Mr. Millard then executes trades based on those conversations. However, the 95-year-old clarified that he wouldn’t make any investment that the new CEO thinks is wrong.

Buffett also disclosed that Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-B) purchased $17 billion worth of Treasury bills recently at the weekly auction. However, he emphasized that the current conditions fall far short of periods that created major buying opportunities.
