I bought airline tickets to Omaha for the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting. My wife is not interrested so I will be flying down with a buddy from my investment club.

If anyone else here is going PM me.

If anyone wants to read Buffett's 2006 letters to shareholders, it just came out last Thursday. Herz da link:

Wow, this is an old thread. I started reading through it thinking "what happens if Buffet dies", and hey, there's a post from me two years ago asking that question. Awfully risky investment, imho.

I couldn't feel more confident buying shares in a company run by the world's greatest investor. Remember Buffet has hand picked his replacement in case of an emergency.

Only works if he's a clone.

Buffet is one the few men I'd die to have a chance to meet. Him and Li Ka Shing. Forget Comb-Over-Boy Donald, these guys are the real deal.

one of my relatives might have met or has dealings with "comb over donald"
apparently from what I hear he does not own all the buildings with his name, ex- all the Trump condos going up in different states.
He licenced out his name to some builders, who are then leasing the land the condos are being built on.
I only know this because I know one of the persons that owns the land where one of his named condos is being built.

Knowing this I would rather meet Warren Buffet or Richard Branson also sounds like an interesting person- the Virgin mobile guy...
