OMAHA, Neb. (PRWEB) May 1, 2008
A pack of six cards featuring quotes and photos of Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and Business Wire President and CEO Cathy Baron Tamraz will be available to attendees. The cards will sell for $ 10 and also include statistics on Business Wire, which was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 2006.
All proceeds will be donated to CASA For Douglas County, Nebraska (Court Appointed Special Advocates), a charitable organization that provides a voice for abused and neglected children within the court system through the use of trained citizen volunteers.
“Business Wire is certainly excited about being present again at the Berkshire annual meeting and we look forward to meeting and greeting shareholders and helping out with a worthy cause like CASA,” said Tamraz.
CASA was established in the Omaha area in 1998 upon the urgency of area judges. The idea of CASA first originated in the Seattle area, when a juvenile court judge felt that he was not sufficiently informed on a case involving an abused child. CASA was created under the premise that there must be an advocate for foster children within the court system – someone who will fight and keep the children’s best interests at heart. It is the CASA volunteer that helps judges make good decisions on behalf of the abused and neglected children.
“CASA volunteers are ordinary people doing extraordinary work. They are a powerful voice in a foster child’s life”, said Nancy Wilson, Executive Director of CASA For Douglas County.
The cards are available on a first-come basis at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting, which takes place Saturday, May 3 at the Qwest Center in Omaha.

Warren Buffett is not a rock star of the investment world; he is THE rock star of the investment world – a financial Elvis Presley. It’s no wonder that people refer to the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting as the “Woodstock of Capitalism”. While there were all the usual cocktail receptions, dinners and exhibitors and suggestions for interesting side trips for anyone who was interested, this meeting was, of course primarily about business.
Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting -The Business
At this year’s meeting, even with Berkshire Hathaway’s market value down about 30 percent, attendance was higher than ever with about 25,000 – 30,000 people showing out of roughly 100,000 shareholder credentials issued. As expected, most of the talk at this year’s meeting was centered on how to maximize return during an economic downturn, and the effect of the pending Wall Street reform legislation. Some take-aways from Buffett’s always popular question and answer session with long-time business partner Charlie Munger:
* Purchase of the Philadelphia Enquirer – Buffett said he is still considering buying the struggling paper.
* Succession – This topic has come up year after year, and although Buffett has declined to name a chosen successor, he has mentioned that four investment managers are currently in the running, though he did not go so far as to name names.
* Position on derivatives – Buffett does not see serious impact from the Wall Street reform bill to Berkshire Hathaway’s derivatives position. In any event, derivatives are not a huge chunk of Berkshire Hathaway’s business anyway, currently carrying only about 250 contracts.
* Inflation – Munger says to bet on it, perhaps that it will be even higher than experts are currently predicting.
* Taxes – Buffett reaffirmed his position that taxes should be higher on the rich, but he tempered that comment by saying that money spent by the government on helping the poor would be better handled by charities. Buffett has revealed in the past that a large part of his estate will be willed to charity organizations.
It was a marathon six hour session with Buffett and Muger showing great energy and enthusiasm. The fact that the economy is in the midst of a malaise not seen since the Great Depression did not seem to dampen their fervor; although it is well known that Buffett’s greatest accomplishments have come during times of economic hardship. His overall philosophy remains consistent, be honest and ethical, be logical and do what you love doing.
Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting – The Pleasure
No Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting would be complete without some fun. All work and no play makes for a dull meeting indeed. Omaha is surprisingly well positioned to be a tourist destination with restaurants, galleries and museums as well as a thriving performance arts scene. On the official events schedule, Friday featured a grand cocktail reception at Borsheim’s, a swanky 62,000 square foot jewelry retailer owned by Berkshire Hathaway. After the meeting ended at 4:00 Saturday, there was the “Berkyville” picnic at the Nebraska Furniture Mart, and finally there was the traditional Sunday brunch and shopping, again at Borsheims.
Also going on in Omaha that weekend, was a performance by Warren Buffett’s son Peter, a musician and philanthropist, at the Witherspoon Concert Hall at Joslyn Art Museum. Buffett combines his music with an authentic, inspirational, and impactful message in the form of a multi-media presentation. An artist’s reception for Wendy Jane Bantam took place at the Dundee Gallery also on Friday. Friday and Saturday, the Holland Performing Arts Center featured a Tribute to Motown by the Omaha Symphony Orchestra. Those who stayed through to Monday and were baseball fans had the opportunity to see the Omaha Royals play the Oklahoma Redhawks in Triple-A action. This is the final season for the Royals in historic Rosenblatt Stadium – Home of the College World Series – which will be torn down in favor of a new ballpark downtown.
If anyone has plans to attend the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in 2011, it will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2011 at the Quest Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Of course, as always, admission is limited to credentialed individuals only.

Contest to Find the Top Ten Questions to Ask Warren Buffett at the Berkshire Hathaway Meeting
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 10, 2009
Jeff Matthews, manager of the Ram Partners, LP, hedge fund and popular financial blogger, is hosting a contest to find the top ten questions everyone wants to ask Warren Buffett. Buffett, arguably the most influential businessman in the world, is well-known for his annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, where he sets aside time to answer questions from the audience.
Some have been critical of this longstanding tradition. “Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting is no longer mainly about Berkshire Hathaway. Instead, the Berkshire meeting is mainly about Warren Buffett–what he eats to stay healthy, what he reads to stay informed, and what he thinks about all manner of topics, from what teenagers should do with their lives to how he’d handle the healthcare crisis,” Matthews says. Frustrated with the off-topic questions that the Oracle of Omaha is usually peppered with at this event, Matthews invited the readers of his blog to send him the questions they’d want to ask Warren Buffett if they could. The responses poured in, and dozens of questions were included in the first annual “Pilgrimage to Omaha’s Top Ten List of Questions We’d Like to Hear Warren Buffett Asked” poll.
Anyone can vote by visiting JeffMatthewsIsNotMakingThisUp and clicking on the link at the top of the blog. Voters are encouraged to vote for up to ten questions. Voting closes on April 15. The top ten questions will then be revealed, and the people who submitted the winning questions will each receive a copy of Jeff Matthew’s book, Pilgrimage to Warren Buffett’s Omaha, which tells the story of Matthew’s visits to the fabled shareholders’ meeting.
As expected, many of the questions that have been submitted focus on the government bailouts and the economic crisis. More surprising, however, is the amount of anger that appears to be directed at Buffett himself. “How do you sleep at night knowing you sacrificed Ron Furgeson to avoid your own responsibility with the General Re/AIG crime?” one submitter asks. “Why did you use the Black Scholes model to price the equity index put options, since we know that it is nonsense?” demands another. Whether these sentiments reflect popular opinion or not will be seen when the votes are tallied.
