I just got back from the annual pilgrimage to Omaha, Nebraska also known as the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting. The event, which was attended by more than 40,000 investors, was a celebration of capitalism, a celebration of generosity and more importantly a celebration of kindness.
The energy in the first half of the meeting was very different from last year as it was clear that Warren Buffett was missing his business and intellectual parter of 63 years, Charlie Munger, who passed away at the young age of 99.
