I know it's been a couple of years since that last Berkshire meeting, but Charlie and Warren are really showing their age here. Both of their minds are still sharp, but don't take these two for granted because we likely don't have these wonderful interviews for much longer.

[GunnarShaffer]

I love how Charlie is casually munching on peanuts! These guys are so authentic and it is amazing they never retire. They have passion and love what they do!

[MrGravity]

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.

CNBC needs to post the full video from the meeting. I'm sure some appreciate these little snippets but please... post the whole thing!

[teresamcrae]

I just loaded up on these stocks, but my questions is how can I make short term profit, I read articles of investors that made over $500K after a couple trades and I'd appreciate clue on how to make better profit

[Greeneggsandham]

Kathy Wood’s isn’t looking so good anymore but Buffet’s still winning.

[alfredadler]

How can Munger eat so much candy and live.

[hl]

Charlie got so bored so he can’t keep his hands off the candies xx

[mazyroobash]

Sharp as usual and to the point. Wish there were more people like him, kind and beyond smart. Two great, great guys.

[janosik]

[sauce]

Where is full version of this meeting? These 5 minute clips are BS

[stachowi]

Politicians and bankers aren't worried about inflation... they'll just give themselves a raise!

[myungsukim]

Thank you. Updates would be more summarized. Trust ha been established. Appreciate again.

[mckmn]

Someones eating too close to the mike haha

[commanderrussels]

Why at the beginning section were they sitting close together, and the second half they spread them apart?

[leonardmilcin]

Imagine, you want to invest millions of dollars but you can't be bothered reading couple thousand words from one of the most successful and wisest investors.

[xpusostomos]

Ironically, he tells us a story about too many words that had nothing to do with inflation.

[fredgallag]

One of the dangers of short term investing in an inflationary real estate market such as now, is the risk of getting caught in a real estate bubble.

[HyperspaceHoliday]

Well it doesn't swindle the government, they benefit from it.

[MrBoliao]

The only person who benefits from Inflation are people in debt with the debt dwindling in value.
