Warren Buffett presides over the 2024 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting — 5/4/24

Achieving success hinges on the steps you actively take toward it. Accumulating wealth involves cultivating positive habits, such as consistently setting aside money at intervals for robust investments. Financial management, often avoided by many, can later become a haunting issue. My hope is that anyone reading this finds success in their journey!

Becky is an ABSOLUTE professional. Everybody can learn from her.

Charlie saying "Slick, yo!" at 49:30 had me rolling on the floor in laughter!!!

Warren buffet is bearish. He sold a lot of Apple. i do still think there's some short term pain ahead. I am currently holding north of $200k in a savings account waiting to take advantage of a huge opportunity. Any recommendations with solid cash flow?

[goodfty]

Amazing tribute to Charlie, getting to see all the clips and skits was something special. Like they said they needed permission to show it on CNBC with the actors, I'm really happy they did. The humility of Warren's words as he honored his lifelong friend was just simply one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard and seen someone do. I know he did also in the letter to shareholders. Also later on when Greg said "Nothing to add" hahaha. All and all this was a great shareholders meeting, the saddest but it wasn't sad. This made me happy, I'm glad it turned out so well.

[richardliu]

He’s a legend, 93, still hosting the AGM, how incredible and inspiring!

[missflorafactory]

One of the best qualities of Warren Buffet is loving Charlie deeply without any jealousy. True friendship true love. Meetings Without Charlie is missing the best flavor.

[victorau-yong]

It takes a lot of humility to own up to the decision on selling Paramount stocks & the shifting consumer behaviour. That's the hallmark of Warren Buffett. Hope to see him again next year !

[chemistrywithmike]

Greg has immense respect for Warren! hats off to both!!!!

[andytan]

This is the saddest annual meeting in Berkshire Hathaway history in my opinion.

It is the first time we don't see Charlie Munger, and clearly Warren Buffett missed him, also somehow it feels like this may be Buffett's last when he said he hopes to be here next year, not in a confident tone.

I got a bit emotional after hearing that.

[mariomario]

Warren Buffett is an amazing man. Hopefully we see him next year!

[joewilliam]

This is the America that is great, Warren and Charlies represent it.

[dannymadrid]

Mr. Munger was a cool man, in my opinion. May he rest in PEACE. Thank you for your helpful knowledge and philosophy. Excellent!

[twac]

A more somber meeting this year, especially towards the end. I’ve watched all of these since 1994 at least twice and I’ve never heard Mr. Buffett that downcast. I suppose that was to be expected following Mr. Munger’s passing but it was honestly tough to watch. Cheer up Mr. Buffett! It’s not over yet!

[jeffmac]

Becky Quick, excellent interviews and coverage.

[DeepSukhwani]

Thank you CNBC and team. Thank you Berkshire Hathaway team, Thank you Warren. Sincerely missed Charlie Munger. There's always a lot of learn from BRK meetings.

[mohamedfayazdeen]

Incredible Investors… Hope the world sees another such pair in the future

[gavinlee]

Salute to our late Charlie, his legacy lives on!!!
Somehow, I can see that Warren has aged so much ever since the passing of Charlie. May he live as long as Charlie happily, healthily.
