Inside the Berkshire Hathaway Meeting

Last weekend I attended the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha, which has become a Mecca for investors, packed with 25,000 shareholders from all over the world. I’ve never seen anything like it, in all my years in finance.

The highlight, of course, was my 40-minute, one-on-one meeting with Charlie Munger, Buffett’s lifelong friend and business partner.

Click here for details.

In the last couple of weeks, I have been a contributor on Bloomberg News, CNBC Fast Money, CNBC with Trish Regan, CNBC with Maria Bartiromo (Repo 105), Fox & Friends (Goldman Sachs SEC Investigation). On Finance Reform: I’ve been advising the House Financial Services Committee & the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission and had personal discussions with Senator Mitch McConnell and Senator John Cornyn.

Upcoming Speaking Engagements:

Toronto May 17th, Calgary June 3rd, Monaco June 17th

And that’s right up Lawrence McDonald’s street. June 03, 2010 he’ll be on our street, right here in Calgary.

Lawrence McDonald is playing an active advisory role with the House Financial Services Committee, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, and commentates regularly on national television when former Wall Street titans face the hammer on Capital Hill.

“If you really look into this financial crisis, it’s very clear that Hank Paulson was the quarterback, Tim Geithner was the wide-receiver, and Chris Cox, I think, might have been out in left field.”

–McDonald, Bloomberg TV, Tuesday, April 20th.
