So if you (like me) were at Borsheims to kick off the 2010 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ weekend, you likely missed seeing the wonderful live broadcast by Liz Claman of Fox Business.
For the third year in a row, Claman and her top-notch team broadcast live from Borsheims from 1pm to 4pm on the Friday of shareholders’ weekend. What a way to kick things off!
Want to see what you missed on tv? Or think the cameras may have caught you in the background?
Check out these video clips:
Liz interviews Susan Jacques, Borsheims President and CEO
Liz interviews Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman
Liz interviews Mario Gabelli (and shows off some jewelry!)Â
Liz interviews David Sokol of NetJets & MidAmerican Energy

Hello Weekenders,
Every year at Borsheims we welcome many of our jewelry designers and vendors to visit the store during the Berkshire Weekend. That way, as a shareholder, you have the chance to meet and chat with some of the best jewelry designers in the world. Each of these special vendors brings along thousands of exquisite pieces that will be on display exclusively during the Berkshire Shareholder’s Weekend.
I take a lot of photos of these stunning, special pieces and I will be sharing them this year in a series of posts highlighting different jewelry vendors that have come to the 2010 shareholder’s meeting. In this post, You will see a lot of gorgeous jewelry from JB Star or Jewels By Star. They have brought some really amazing pieces including a 36kt fancy yellow diamond and a 4 and 
one half carat pink diamond. The JB Star vendor also showed me some really interesting turquoise to green stones set in rings. These stones were called Paraiba Tourmalines. They are truly amazing and a must see.

Hello Weekenders,
Many shareholders go to the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting to hear Warren and Charlie’s words of wisdom. But others go to do some serious shopping! The shareholder’s meeting this Saturday at the Qwest Center will offer hundreds of deals from many Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries. From Fruit of the Loom and Justin Boots, to See’s 
Candies and Ginsu knives, the famous shareholder discount gets you access to a lot of discounted merchandise. Do your spring cleaning now to make room for all the great finds at great prices this Saturday.
I hope to see you out there for a bit of wisdom from Warren Buffett, and for a great amount of discounted shopping!
Best Wishes,

Hello Berkshire Fans,
We just wanted to put up a brief post today highlighting some of the changes coming to the 2010 Berkshire Hathaway Annual 
Shareholders Meeting. Check out this document highlighting some of the changes.
2010 Changes Include:
-Table tennis is back (after a few years of hiatus, table tennis is back for the celebration)
-Shareholders are entitled to a maximum of 2 meeting credentials (change from 4 last year). Update: looks like Warren is allowing 4 credentials per shareholder again this year.
How do shareholders get their credentials?
Look for more information in the the 2009 Annual Reports that will be mailed in March. Included in the mailing will be the Proxy Statement. A perforated postcard will be attached to that Proxy. Fill it out and return the postcard to order your
meeting credentials.
Stay tuned for more information.
Best of luck and see you in May!
