adesigar Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Parsad said: Am I the only one that thinks Munger, who always looked older for his age, has recently aged better than Buffett? At 98, Munger mentally seems extremely sharp, whereas Buffett seems to have slowed down a bit at 91. Warren still looks good for 91, but he seems to be laboring a bit during the meeting now. We're so lucky to have received their wisdom for so long, hopefully they have much more time left. Cheers! During the Q&A Warren Buffett seemed to be rambling.

AzCactus Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I know Buffett is pretty old but as I'm watching this it sounds like he keeps smacking his lips like he has dry mouth or something. Anyone else noticing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are only in the morning session. In the morning session, Vice Chairmen Charlie Munger, Ajit Jain and Greg Abel will be available to answer questions from both the audience and Becky. Ajit handles insurance operations and Greg is in charge of all other operations. If questions are asked that are relevant to either of these areas, Becky or the on-premise questioner will get an answer from Ajit or Greg. Neither of them, however, will be available for questions at the afternoon session. https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/meet01/visguide2022.pdf Edited April 30, 2022 by fareastwarriors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aws Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 That's a pretty nice potential return if he bought the shares in the mid 70s. ~75 million shares at about $20 per share spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Buffett was hilarious today. Good laughs. Funny, how he described how Oxy and Alleghany came about. Investment by coincidences and chance. So his mental bandwidth and attention is really the deciding factor between cash pile going down or not.

Xerxes Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I had trouble finding it on YouTube in the morning. I think it was meant to be a exclusive on CNBC.com. Not even on the CNBC feed of YouTube. for those looking for a replay, they did say it would be included in the CNBC Buffett archive. I don’t think there is a firewall there.

Especially during the annual meeting portion. Repeated some stories a couple times too - like the origin/importance of Ajit Jain. Made me worry a touch about dementia. I’d like to think the rambling was just his excitement about answering questions in front of a live audience after a few years of pandemic-induced isolation. But, I know better. The old boy’s gettin on up there in years. He’s still smart as a whip. It’s amazing that nonagenarian brain is still able to hang in there for six solid hours.

CanadianMunger Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 It's odd because Warren seemed sharp in the Charlie Rose interview. Perhaps it was edited and condensed? Took a quick reminisce tour through the CNBC annual meeting archive starting in 1994, and skipped every 5 years. Warren still seemed pretty sharp even last year. TBH it gives me pause as BRK is my largest holding. He has noted that the board will know when to take the keys away - but lets be honest - these people have adored and loved him for decades. They say an experience is not only valued on the whole but particularly based on how it ends. I hope my last impressions of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME are not what we saw today. I thought I would never say this, but perhaps it is time Warren retired. -CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubsfan Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 ^^^ Don't know about that. Could be as simple as the guy didn't get enough sleep. Berkshire Annual Meeting week is a long grueling affair for both of these gentlemen. I'm definitely not worried about one rambling performance.

LearningMachine Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) What do folks think Buffett bought beyond Y, CVX, OXY, HPQ, and BRK? Wonder what he sold? Edited May 1, 2022 by LearningMachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceskc Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Investments in Banks went up 10B. So it must be +100b business thats not bac and unlikely to be wfc. My best guess is JPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what he sold? well he didn’t buy any Y yet. He bought 9.5% of ATVI. He bought a little more of all 5 Japanese trading companies. He bought a couple German stocks and one more foreign stock I can’t recall. No idea what was sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The questions are the same every year. So he had to repeat himself, or maybe adding some details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
