Fox Business at Borsheims

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

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:

The annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder’s letter has been out for a few hours now, and plenty of journalists are analyzing the contents. It looks like good news for Berkshire shareholders. The following positive excerpt comes from Warren’s letter:

Our gain in net worth during 2009 was $21.8 billion, which increased the per-share book value of both our Class A and Class B stock by 19.8%. Over the last 45 years (that is, since present management took over) book value has grown from $19 to $84,487, a rate of 20.3% compounded annually.
