Warren Buffett has attracted skeptics throughout his career when the stock of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. languished. Now that the shares are rallying, the billionaire is looking for another critic.

Buffett said he’s seeking an investment professional who’s bearish on Berkshire, or betting on the stock’s decline, to fill a seat on a panel of questioners at his company’s annual meeting May 4 in Omaha, Nebraska.
