A first-person YouTube video by Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim documenting attendance at the May 4, 2024 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting. The speaker—identifying themselves as a physician from the UK—describes the crowd (long-term individual investors, grandparents bringing grandchildren), meeting atmosphere, and encounters with hedge-fund managers and stock analysts while expressing admiration for Warren Buffett.
So I'm right here at the annual shareholders meeting for Berkshire Hathaway because a lot of us are big fans of Warren Buffett, the legendary sage of Omaha, we call him, who is the founder of Berkshire Hathaway. It's quite inspiring to see people, grandpas, grandmas, regular people who have been investing for several years, investing for their families, investing for their grandchildren, and they say, oh, I bought this stock for my grandchild when he was born. He's now a teenager. And, yeah, he's attending the annual shareholders meeting with me as well. It's also quite impressive to see. You know, I've met a few hedge fund managers, stock analysts, some a bit older. I've also met some about my age. I haven't really met any doctors. Anyway, people are always surprised. They asked me, are you an analyst or fund manager? I said, no, I'm a doctor or I'm a physician as they know it in the uk. But it's a very interesting event and I hope to learn as much as possible.
