“Republicans were expecting a ‘red wave’ on Election Day, with the typical gains for the out-of-power party turbo-charged by high inflation and economic malaise.

“The aim of the assassinations on Wednesday 7 January at the offices of Charlie Hebdo was to kill journalists and cartoonists for their opinions. They have plunged everyone who defends freedom of expression into mourning, and horrified the whole of France.” We will defend this freedom and ensure the “free, caring, joyful society that the journalists and cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo were fighting for.”

“Part rock concert, part investment workshop, the annual gathering of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders is an odd mix.” This year about 30,000 people attended what has become known as “Woodstock for capitalists.” During an annual highlight, Chairman Warren Buffet and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger participated in over 5 hours of Q&A. This year, “the questions seemed somewhat tougher and more detailed because of the addition of a panel of investment professionals, including Doug Kass, who has a negative view on Berkshire’s stock.” The wide-ranging questions also came from shareholders, journalists and analysts.“Part rock concert, part investment workshop, the annual gathering of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders is an odd mix.” This year about 30,000 people attended what has become known as “Woodstock for capitalists.” During an annual highlight, Chairman Warren Buffet and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger participated in over 5 hours of Q&A.
