The book BillG has in the Omaha World-Herald photos is http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-Who-Stayed-Behind/dp/0822326671/ which looks interesting.  Still trying to get a better understanding of China.

Buffett talking to Betty Liu.

[tooskinneejs]

Here is a good video of an interview with Pat Dorsey (of Sanibel Captiva and formerly of Morningstar) who describes Buffett's discussion of the value of Berkshire.

 

He says Buffett gave more clues than usual as to Berkshire's value.  Pat then does a back of the envelope calculation based on Buffett's clues and puts the value at more than $107 per B share.

Great links. 

 

I read the notes from Boodell; excellent coverage.  Close to 29 pages covering 6ish hours of Q&A.  Quite a performance by a couple of guys in their 80's.  I like the format with the analyst questions thrown in the mix.  Buffett was able to answer some specific insurance questions extemporaneously.  Makes me think that the breadth and depth of his knowledge and understanding of BRK's operations may be the really irreplaceable thing about Warren.
