Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting 1995 Part 1, Morning Session
Chapters below.
Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger open the 1995 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting with the vote to authorize preferred stock, then take shareholder questions on capital allocation, insurance float, and how they actually value the operating businesses. They explain the Helzberg acquisition, why technology sits outside the circle of competence, and what went wrong at USAir. Along the way they cover derivatives, stock option accounting, the culture problem at Salomon, and why reluctance to sell a wonderful business is a feature rather than a flaw.
