Keep meaning to make it to an annual meeting. I'm not sure if this year's circus will be better or worse.
Thank you for elaborating on the dividend comment. I certainly was not trying to imply that it was a negative. It just emphasizes that while Mr. Buffett may have as much money as anyone in the world, he does not have it in a private or liquid form outside of his role at Berkshire Hathaway. Like many growth of company-based Billionares (Gates, Bezos, etc), there is a great deal of transparency (an annual report!) in investment philosophy. Contrast with someone like Stephen Schwarzman.
