More Coverage of Warren Buffett’s Letter to Shareholders

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

Our local newspaper, the Omaha World-Herald, always has wonderful coverage of all things Warren Buffett. The day after the release of Mr. Buffett’s letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders is no exception.

Steve Jordon has been covering Warren Buffett for years and does a weekly column called Warren Watch. They devoted an entire section to the letter, and you can read most of it on their website here.

Another great article comes from the Wall Street Journal. They compiled a list of quips and quotes from the annual letter. View their list here.

At Borsheims, our favorite quip from the letter is easy to pick out! In talking about the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders weekend, Mr. Buffett says “Remember: Anyone who says money can’t buy happiness simply hasn’t learned where to shop.”

We agree! If you need a little happiness before April 30th, visit www.borsheims.com. We’re happy to ship a little happiness your way!
