Бул жерде акционерлер үчүн Баффеттин соода карнавалынын төмөндөшү

Б.Гейтс shareholder meeting’s pregame is nothing short of an extravaganza.

Thousands of Berkshire shareholders flocked to Omaha, Nebraska this weekend for the annual meeting Saturday. Before hearing from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, investors gathered in a sprawling convention center to explore exhibits featuring the conglomerate’s holdings — from toy trains mimicking BNSF’s railroad, Berkshire chocolate coins from See’s Candies to Buffett-branded Brooks athleisure.

The so-called “Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains” is a tradition at the “Oracle of Omaha’s” annual event. Only those with a shareholder credential can participate and they can shop at a discount in the CenturyLink Center.

CNBC will host эксклюзивдүү түз агым of the shareholder meeting on Saturday starting at 9:45 am ET.

Poor Charlie’s Almanack (the third edition of Munger’s advice book) was for sale at The BookWorm, a bookstore chain owned by Berkshire. Admirers can also buy a collection of Berkshire Hathaway letters to shareholders from 1965 to 2014.

Advertising icon Geico’s lizard was present to entertain shareholders. Buffett first bought shares of the auto insurer in 1996.

Shoppers snagged Buffet-branded sneakers, t-shirts and socks at Brooks’ booth. The sportswear company is also hosting a 5K run with Berkshire in downtown Omaha Sunday morning.

Shareholders could buy a boat designed by singer Jimmy Buffett at the event for nearly $200,000 at a 10% discount. The boats, manufactured by Berkshire subsidiary Forest River, are in production after 14 months of developing with the 75-year-old Buffett.
