Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting 2025

[good-investing]

Hey,

 

it is super interesting to see the new schedule of the AGM:

 

 

How do you like the shorter version?

 

I will be in Omaha again this year and am already looking forward to it. To make the trip easier and to share all events that happen around the AGM, I have created an updated guide again.

 

Maybe this video will also help you:

 

 

Who is planning to be in Omaha as well?

Any suggestions to attend events around Wednesday and Thursday. Please advise.

Two hours and 10 mins! to the 2025 Woodstock for Capitalists starts!

 

I saw this : 

 

CNBC [May 2^nd 2025] : Berkshire meeting ‘bazaar’ features Buffett Squishmallows, 60th anniversary book and giant claw machine.

 

So a new book must have for all Berkaholics and tons of stuff for those attending!

Buffett and Greg handled the question in a good natured manner and didn't embarrass the guy.

Abel’s friend just phone in…. Opps

[Hektor]

All of you Berkshire Hathaway shareholders should be very concerned now. They have no clue about what they own and what they don’t

May be that was a DEI questionnaire

Yeah, @Gamecock-YT,

 

That made me chuckle as well. Jetlag

Now we're about one hour into the session, and Mr. Buffett is now warmed up, and the speed in which he's speaking has been going up. He is simply an incredible geriatric! Just like a sea gull hovering in the headwind!

 

The only person that I've known my whole life performing so well at 90⁺ years has been my grandmother on my fathers side. Everyone else to me has at that age had an appearance as of having one foot on a banana shell, the other in the grave!

If you think Buffett isn't concerned about extreme inflation, you're simply not listening to him.

Everyone is concerned about extreme inflation.   Some of us just recognize that we are not experiencing extreme inflation at the moment.

I'm sorry, and I really don't mean to be rude, but you were just buying 20-year treasury debt. I would hardly call that a hallmark of someone concerned about inflation.

Political opinions slips out between his ribs and through his mouth. It's impossible to avoid when he is the CEO and chairman running worlds largest conglomarate.

 

One thing I wonder is, who decides which questions get a go at the individiul stations? Is it Becky Quick making the calls?

It was an excellent question. Greg is honest and has the presence of mind to say that he has to phone a friend. He didn’t mistake it for something else and give a BS answer. 

it revealed something great about Greg.

@Blake Hampton,

 

He has been looking dumb or scared, or both - make your pick - for at least a decade. Please just continue doing your own stuff. There are lots of competitive alternatives. None of us here on CofB&F will likely ever come near to him, because he has now spent almost 60 years with his employeés building insurance float to USD 173 B [which in itself actually  generates an income!], to finance his doings, at least partly.

 

I assume none of us here on CofB&F, [I assume],  has such operational terms and conditions.

What I see at my investment bank exactly today, looks like a 276 percent gain over 10 years, which is almost a four-bagger. Not that shabby, considered risks involved.

He is running his own show, his own way. It doesen't stop before he packs his personal stuff and go home.

We’re now at the adults pawning off their kids to ask questions part of the meeting

We need to go back to only letting Becky Quick ask questions…sheesh
