Street Capitalist: Event Driven Value Investments

Twittering Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Meeting

The Omaha World Herald is doing a great job right now with their coverage of the event.

In addition though, there are a few others twittering the event:

Andrew Sorkin of the New York Times
Joe Ponzo of FWallstreet
LizClaman of Fox Business

They all vary in what they’re saying and the amount of detail. @LizClaman is probably the fastest, while the Omaha World Herald is the most detailed. Also, unless you have a Twitter client you’ll have to manually refresh their pages. Or alternatively you could check back in a few hours when everything is finished.

I would also say that within a few days of the event, detailed transcripts are usually released from the various bloggers that frequent the meeting. So don’t worry too much about missing anything right now.

    If you think that Malcolm Gladwell's articles have fluffy concepts, you probably won't be too impressed with his books. He falls into the economists trap of making interesting conjectures without the necessary experimental rigor to back up his conclusions. If you have read “The Logic of Life” or “Freakonomics”, you know what I mean.

    His books are still worthwhile, IMO, for the references and for the clear writing style.
