2024 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting

Starting in the early hours of the morning, thousands of people lined up to get a seat at an event with no assigned seating. They waited until the doors opened at 7 a.m. The people in line were young and old, from both inside and outside the country. 

Such is the scene at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. These people come from all over to hear the wisdom of Warren Buffett, and in past years, his partner Charlie Munger. This year, Munger’s presence was notably absent, as he passed away last November at the age of 99. Many regarded him as the more intelligent of the duo; even Buffett himself called Munger “The Architect of Berkshire Hathaway.” In my opinion, no higher compliment could have been given by Buffett.
