FAQs on the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
Q: When is the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BH) annual shareholders meeting this year?
A: Saturday, April 30, 2016.
Q: Where is the BH annual meeting?
A: Omaha, Nebraska.
Q: I have some BRK.B. How can I receive a BH invitation to the annual meeting?
A: You must ask for your annual meeting credentials by writing an email to BH: berkshire@berkshirehathaway.com
Q: How many annual meeting credentials can I get?
A: One shareholder can ask for a maximum of 4 credentials. So, you can take your wife and children to go. Your annual meeting credentials are your “passport” for enjoying the shareholder-only events and discounts over the weekend.
Q: Ok. When should I send a request?
A: After Buffett's letter to shareholders is posted on the Internet,on the last Saturday of February.
Q: What will Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger talk about in the annual meeting?
A: They always talk about their views on investment. But they also talk about macroeconomics and new acquisitions and portfolios of BH. Maybe you can find the right stocks to invest in.
Q: Is listening to Buffett and Munger the best way to learn about Buffettism Value Investment?
A: No! The best way to learn about BVI is to read Buffett's annual letters to shareholders and my book "Following the Master: Embracing Buffettism -- co-Creating Value with Berkshire Hathaway." Its Chinese title is “買進巴菲特，穩賺18%.” It is much more informative than listening to Buffett and Munger talk during the annual meeting.
Q: May I ask Buffett and Munger some questions?
A: Certainly! If you have a microphone, you can ask any question!
Q: One question about BH, what happens if the oracle dies?
A: If Buffett or Munger were to pass on, I think that BRK.A and BRK.B stock prices would fall by 10%~20%. But they would soon rise again, possibly higher than their previous price. BH will retain its strong position due to the subsidiaries and portfolios it owns. Don't worry about it. Everything will be fine. BH's best days lie ahead.
