COYS Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 DJCO's annual meeting is scheduled on February 2, and I'm considering making the flight to Los Angeles to attend. To that end, has anyone attended the annual meeting in the past? Does Mr. Munger answer questions? I've never come across meeting notes. Thanks in advance.
Parsad Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 From what I've heard it is very good. Munger doesn't answer questions for hours like he does at Wesco, but he does answer some. I would think it is going to be far larger than normal, now that he will no longer be doing Wesco. Cheers!
COYS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Thank you for your thoughts. After posting the thread, I came across a brief writeup on the 2008 DJCO annual meeting from the Motley Fool website which I've linked here. http://www.fool.com/community/pod/2008/080207.htm
brker_guy Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Last year, Charlie did his usual Wesco routine. He spoke for nearly 45 minutes (Charlie spent a good chunk of that time teaching us about the economics of DJCO which is quite fascinating), and then he answered questions from the attendees. The main conference room at DJCO's HQ was packed with people. He answered each and every question until the meeting ended which was about 12:30PM. The meeting lasted 2.5 hrs. It was a lot of fun for me because we only had about about 25 people in that conference room with Charlie. With the ending of Wesco's annual meeting, you can bet that the DJCO's meeting will be very crowded this year.
netnet Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Did anyone catch any of the Daily Journal meeting?
Parsad Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 It looks like he will continue to hold Wesco's meeting for another year or two...even footing the bill himself if necessary...he said it was for the groupies! Cheers!
epictetus Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Wesco expects that if the merger is consummated prior to early June 2011, there will be no 2011 annual meeting of Wesco's shareholders. In that event, Charles T. Munger plans to hold an “Afternoon with Charlie” in Pasadena, California sometime within a few weeks after the merger to give Berkshire Hathaway and former Wesco shareholders a chance to ask him questions about business, economics and life (but not about Wesco). That event would be held on May 4, 2011 if the merger has been consummated before then. On the other hand, if the merger is not approved, Wesco would expect to hold a 2011 annual meeting of shareholders http://www.wescofinancial.com/page3.html
berkshiremystery Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Anyone know the date for the 2014 meeting? Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it should be usually the first Wednesday in February.
netnet Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 I called and was told that it will be the first week in Feb, but that it had not been finalized. Now I don't know if that means the room, the time or the exact date. The woman at the Journal, said that she would know by 12-11.
OracleofCarolina Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Thanks for the info..keep us updated Jason
PlanMaestro Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 hi all, any news on the date of the DJCO annual meeting?
netnet Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 The meeting has not been scheduled yet. Now they think that it will be Feb. 18. I must say that I think something is up. I hope it is not Charlie Munger's health.
Buffett_Groupie Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Charlie is very healthy as I have a picture of him with my friend celebrating his 90th birthday. The delay may be due to the postponment of 10-K audit: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-31/munger-s-daily-journal-misses-second-reporting-deadline.html?cmpid=yhoo

The speculative mind in me is however wondering if we will see Matt Rose take WEB's spot and WEB, CM's at the meeting this year?

Buffett_Groupie Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 My friend asked me not to post it. Well, we'll see him next month anyhow!
wescobrk Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I want to go. I hope I can meet others from the board.
Grenville Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Any update on the date? I'm guessing we won't have any date until they release the 10K. I am a bit surprised it isn't out yet, not sure what the hold up is.

I am a bit surprised it isn't out yet, not sure what the hold up is. ---------------- Below is a link that explains the delay to the release of the 10K ,...& likely the delay of the Annual shareholder meeting . http://finance.yahoo.com/news/daily-journal-corporation-receives-notice-213000172.html
jeffmori7 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Munger portfolio on Dataroma: http://www.dataroma.com/m/holdings.php?m=DJCO
netnet Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 The annual meeting has not been set as yet. The investor relation's person suggested that I call towards the end of Feb. (The hold up is the filings, which if it were not a Munger deal, would give me pause!)
