Q1 profits jump to $35.5 bn at Buffett's Berkshire ahead of annual meeting

Warren Buffett's company said its first-quarter profits soared along with the paper value of its investment portfolio giving the thousands of shareholders who will fill an arena Saturday to listen to the billionaire and several other top executives at the conglomerate answer questions for hours some good news to start the day. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, said Chloe Lin, who travelled from Singapore to attend the meeting for the first time and learn from Buffett and his longtime investing partner Charlie Munger. Berkshire's shareholders meeting always attracts throngs of people who admire the two investors and want to hear whatever wisdom they have to offer about recent events and life lessons. And with both men in their 90s this year, some in the crowd feel the urgency to attend now while both men are still here. Charlie Munger is 99. I just wanted to see him in person. It's on my bucket list, Wu said. I have to attend while I can. Berkshire Hathaway said Saturday morni

Sale of Warren Buffett portrait raises lesser funds than $19 mn lunch bid

The auction of a high-tech portrait of Warren Buffett didn't come close to matching the $19 million someone paid earlier this year for a private lunch with the billionaire, but it still raised $75,100 for one of his favorite charities. The eBay auction wrapped up Tuesday evening on Buffett's 92nd birthday. The portrait created by Motiva Art features a grid of letters over the picture that light up to spell out 11 of the Berkshire Hathaway CEO's best-known quotes including, "It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who has been swimming naked." A previous portrait of Buffett painted by performance artist Michael Israel in 10 minutes outside the Berkshire annual meeting attracted a $100,000 price in 2008. The lunch auction Buffett has done for years to benefit the Glide Foundation that helps the homeless in San Francisco always attracts big bids because it offers exclusive access to the investor who is willing to answer almost any question except what he might buy next.

Shares of the of the oil producer soared nearly 12% Friday after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission revealed that it had approved Berkshire's request to buy up to 50% of the Houston company. Shares slid 4% to around $69 amid a broader sell-off Monday and as speculation cooled over the potential for Berkshire to buy the entire company. Berkshire doesn't typically comment on its stock investments beyond what it is required to disclose, and Buffett didn't respond to questions about Occidental on Monday. But Buffett told shareholders at the company's annual meeting in April that he started buying Occidental shares in late February because what the CEO was telling investors then made nothing but sense to him.
