Berkshire&#39;s annual meeting, held virtually for the past two years in the pandemic, will be streamed live Saturday.Here are a few topics to watch out for.&#39;Sociopathic grandpa&#39;?Maybe Berkshire Hathaway chief executive officer Buffett will address billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel&#39;s remarks earlier this month that the legendary, 91-year old investor is a top &#34;enemy&#34; of bitcoin and part of a &#34;finance gerontocracy&#34; holding back the cryptocurrency&#39;s adoption. Thiel made those remarks at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, where he also called Buffett a &#34;sociopathic grandpa from Omaha.&#34; Crypto has soared in popularity, with Fidelity Investments announcing April 26 that it will allow investors to add a bitcoin account to their 401(k)s.Fed fighting inflationIn May 2020, Buffett praised Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#39;s handling of the market tumult during the COVID-19 crisis. He compared Powell with the late Paul Volcker, who as Fed Chair in the early 1980s helped tame inflation that had spiked in the 1970s. &#34;He and Jay Powell couldn&#39;t seem more different in temperament...but Jay Powell, in my view, and the Fed board belong up there on the pedestal&#34; with him, Buffett said in remarks at Berkshire&#39;s 2020 meeting.This year the U.S. stock market has sunk, with investors jittery over the Fed raising interest rates to fight the hottest inflation in about four decades. The cost of living has surged in the wake of massive monetary and fiscal stimulus during the pandemic, and now, investors fear Powell risks tipping the economy into recession as he aims to bring inflation under control.What about all that cash?At the start of 2022, Berkshire (BRKA)(BRKA) had about $112 billion in &#34;dry powder&#34; that could be used for investments, acquisitions or stock buybacks, according to a note earlier this month from Morningstar senior stock analyst Greggory Warren. &#34;Buffett&#39;s recent buying spree--including Occidental Petroleum, HP, and Alleghany --has barely dented the conglomerate&#39;s cash balance,&#34; he wrote. &#34;We believe the company has finally hit a nexus where it is far more focused on reducing its cash hoard through stock and bond investments and share repurchases.&#34;Winding down?Buffett, the &#34;Oracle of Omaha&#34; widely revered for his stock-picking prowess, will soon be auctioning off a private meal to raise money for the Glide Foundation for a final time. Glide, a California charity for the homeless, said Monday that bidding for a lunch with Buffett will open June 12. What Glide described as the &#34;grand finale&#34; lunch may raise questions about how much longer he intends on leading Berkshire Hathaway as CEO. He&#39;s been auctioning private meals since 2000, taking a pause for two years during the pandemic. Greg Abel, Berkshire&#39;s vice chairman in charge of non-insurance operations, is expected to be Buffett&#39;s successor.Climate changeBerkshire shareholders are once again set to challenge Buffett to step up efforts to combat climate change by doing more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to a New York Times report on Monday. Buffett, who has argued that subsidiaries such as Berkshire Hathaway Energy disclose plenty about their emissions, faces a shareholder proposal asking for an overhaul of how the conglomerate views climate risks, the New York Times reported.Berkshire performanceBerkshire will release its first-quarter earnings report Saturday morning as it kicks off its annual meeting.Buffett&#39;s Berkshire (BRKA) is outperforming the beaten-up stock market this year, with its shares putting up gains so far in 2022. Berkshire&#39;s class B shares are up 10.8% this year through Thursday, while the S&amp;P 500 index dropped 10% over the same period, FactSet data show.Also Read: 12 Questions for Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual MeetingThe highlight of Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting Saturday in Omaha will be 5 hours and 15 minutes of questions directed at CEO Warren Buffett and vice chairmen Charlie Munger, Ajit Jain, and Greg Abel.Buffett, 91, told Charlie Rose in a recent interview that he is eager to hear from what he calls his business partners at the first in-person Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A and BRK.B) meeting since 2019.“They can ask questions that can be impertinent. They can do anything they want with us. I love it and Charlie loves it,” Buffett told Rose.The Q&amp;A session will get under way at 10:15 a.m. Eastern with Buffett taking alternate questions from CNBC’s Becky Quick and shareholders.With so many questions on shareholders’ minds, here are a dozen that could be posed to Buffett.1. You said earlier in April that you’re in good health and have no plans to retire. How long do you expect to remain CEO and what would you most like to accomplish in the remaining time?2. Berkshire’s stock buybacks slowed in the first two months of the first quarter. Is the stock less attractive and much closer to intrinsic value after its rally this year?3. Your investment lieutenants Todd Combs and Ted Weschler are expected to take over the $350 billion equity portfolio when you depart. How have they performed versus the S&amp;P 500 since they joined Berkshire about a decade ago, and why aren’t they managing more than their current $35 billion?4. What would it take for you to consider selling Berkshire’s huge Apple stake?5. Give us your thinking on the Occidental (OXY) and HP Inc. (HPQ) investments this year. Would you consider buying all of Occidental?6. You’ve often praised Google. Why hasn’t Alphabet (GOOG) become a big equity holding for Berkshire?7. Why was it important to add your daughter Susan to the Berkshire board last year when your son Howard is already on it?8. Greg Abel, your likely successor, has been paid about $75 million since becoming head of non-insurance operations in 2018. He doesn’t appear to have bought any Berkshire stock. Why?9. Why not hold quarterly conference calls or an investor day so Berkshire’s million-plus shareholders can better understand a complex company?10. Having a dual-class structure with unequal voting rights isn’t regarded as good corporate governance. Why not equalize the votes on the A and B shares now or after your death?11. Berkshire’s Geico unit has lost ground versus its rival Progressive in the auto insurance market in recent years. Can it catch up?12. How long much longer do you think Jain, now 70, will be running Berkshire’s insurance operations?</body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>What to Watch for at Warren Buffett's 'Woodstock for Capitalists' in Omaha on Saturday</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhat to Watch for at Warren Buffett's 'Woodstock for Capitalists' in Omaha on Saturday\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-29 22:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-to-watch-for-at-warren-buffetts-woodstock-for-capitalists-in-omaha-on-saturday-11651238604?mod=search_headline>MarketWatch</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nBerkshire Hathaway's annual meeting kicks off April 30Warren Buffett, known as the ‘Oracle of Omaha,’ will on April 30 hold Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting in person for the first time since the ...\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-to-watch-for-at-warren-buffetts-woodstock-for-capitalists-in-omaha-on-saturday-11651238604?mod=search_headline\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4019":"再保险","BK4550":"红杉资本持仓","BK4170":"电脑硬件、储存设备及电脑周边","BK4201":"综合性石油与天然气企业","BK4176":"多领域控股","BK4534":"瑞士信贷持仓","BK4581":"高盛持仓","BK4533":"AQR资本管理(全球第二大对冲基金)"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-to-watch-for-at-warren-buffetts-woodstock-for-capitalists-in-omaha-on-saturday-11651238604?mod=search_headline","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2231233419","content_text":"Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting kicks off April 30Warren Buffett, known as the ‘Oracle of Omaha,’ will on April 30 hold Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting in person for the first time since the pandemic.Thousands of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. shareholders are off to Omaha this weekend for what's known as \"Woodstock for Capitalists,\" where Warren Buffett will be meeting them in person for the first time since 2019.
