Live From Omaha: Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, & Bill Murray 5/02/22
Becky Quick highlights the biggest takeaways from the first in-person Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting since 2019. At what’s affectionately nicknamed the “Woodstock for Capitalists,” Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger answered hours of shareholder questions about their $40 billion March buying spree, inflation, bitcoin, and why the Robinhood trading app is justly ‘unraveling’. Among the guests at the meeting: actor and comedian Bill Murray, who is also a Berkshire shareholder. In a candid interview with Becky Quick and Mike Santoli, Murray spoke for the first time about the complaints of inappropriate behavior on the set of the movie, ‘Being Mortal,’ and its subsequent pause in production. He reflects on the evolution of his own comedy and on life lessons in perpetual learning from Buffett and Munger.
