Warren Buffett’s ‘Woodstock for Capitalists’ goes global

The legend that is Warren Buffett spread in an even wider arc around the globe at the weekend, as the iconic Berkshire-Hathaway annual general meeting streamed live on the internet for the first time.

Viewers were able to see the 85-year-old billionaire and his co-director Charlie Munger, 92, sit through up to seven hours of questions from shareholders and journalists on topics ranging from value investing to the global economy, Brexit, the White House race and the pair’s philosophy on life.

Buffett organised the webcast through Yahoo Finance “to reach more people than ever in key financial centres and to bring the energy and excitement of what happens in Omaha to an informed audience around the world.”
