    I did the 5K charity run in 2019, thinking that I'd probably finish decently in my age category just by walking. It turns out that most of the people "competing" in the charity run are fairly fit, so I ended up in the bottom 10% for my age group. Some of the Buffett and Munger family members participate, but everyone looks the same in shorts and a jersey. If nothing else, the run is a good way to see Omaha.

    Hi Michelle, thanks for this video! I'm attending the meeting for the first time this year but I'm not sure how I would go about finding investor events hosted by various people and institutions in Omaha during that weekend. How did you come across those events last year? Are these events usually advertised somewhere? Thanks!

    • @MichelleMarki
      @MichelleMarki  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Typically one hears about investor events by word of mouth or if you have favorite investors/asset managers. There are public events hosted by Mario Gabelli, Willow Oak, Markel, and more to name a few. Also if you hang out at the Hilton there are some cool investors there too. Also Creighton University may host its Value Investing Panel. Keep looking around for announcements from investors on Twitter or join up with certain communities (like The Investors Podcast Network's Berkshire activities). Hope this helps, good luck and have fun! :D

    Hi Michelle. It's good that I stumbled upon your post for the meeting this coming Saturday. You mentioned about just eating ice cream for lunch. Do they not have a meal ticket for where you'll get your food? I read somewhere that the food gets sold out quickly. Do they also have a lot of food booths? Are we allowed to bring food from restaurants outside the venue? Thanks.

    • @MichelleMarki
      @MichelleMarki  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They also have stadium fast food like burgers/hot dogs but the lines were much longer than for the Dairy Queen ice cream which was also much cheaper haha. I don't think there's a lot of food booths. You can probably "sneak" in some food/snacks, just don't make it too obvious. You can also exit the meeting and yes there's restaurants/bars in the area too. Good luck!

    Michelle, thank you for the informative video.
    I will mail my credentials request form today, and hopefully it gets back on time.
    I was delighted that you mentioned the e-bicycles, because I was wondering how will I get around Omaha. Unfortunately, It looks like the place I am renting is not in proximity to any E-bike stations. Do you think that renting a vehicle is a smart idea? My guess is that the rent-a-car prices will go up significantly during the May 6th weekend.
    Finally, congrats on you recent interview with Millennial Investing! It was a great conversation.
    All my very best!

    • @MichelleMarki
      @MichelleMarki  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much PK for your kind words, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the Millennial Investing interview!! 🤩 Sorry to hear the ebikes are not so close to where you are staying. Yes renting a car might be worthwhile since the average rates I saw a while ago were about $55-60 per day. There may be surge pricing (especially on Saturday or to/from airports) with ubers/lyfts, and it may just be convenient to get a rental or split the cost with others. If you see me at the meeting feel free to say hi! Hope you enjoy!!

    Hi Michelle, I have 2 questions:
    1/ if i purchase share of berkshire next week, will i be able to attend the annual meeting? What is the latest date of owning bershire shares in order to get the meeting credentials?
    2/ iam non-us resident, so getting the hard copy of credentials is tough. Is there any way of electronic credentials?

    • @MichelleMarki
      @MichelleMarki  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, I am pretty sure you can simply buy one share at least right before you were to present proof at Will Call. You need only proof of share ownership and a photo ID to show at Will Call if you read the visitor's guide at the Berkshire website. It explains that you can still get the physical credentials if you go to the Will Call. I don't think electronic credentials exist. Good luck!

    Hello Michele, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in this video. This year I will be attending the annual BRK meeting for the first time.

      You're welcome Fernando! That's great to hear! I've previously been in line in the central door but I think certain famous investors may have lined up in the south entrance before. There are likely stairs that lead to the main arena seating throughout, so you can't go too wrong. It may be a matter of preference / if you have friends who want to go into certain entrances. Maybe check out an arena seating map and try to identify where you'd like to end up and hopefully that will guide your decision. Good luck and say hi if you see me!

    Hi Michelle, I really appreciate what you have sharing in the video. I am a freshman in Hong Kong University and this is my first time to attend the meeting. I bought BRKB in 4th April on App (so I don't have a broker), and I bought the credentials from eBay (since I'm afraid it will be too late for BRK to send to me). However, I wonder how can I register the Photo Proof as I am flying to Omaha tomorrow? Is there any website I can register myself in or I have to go to the Will Call?

      @MichelleMarki  ปีที่แล้ว

      You're welcome! I have not had to personally go to Will Call myself so I cannot give you the final word on whether a recent statement would suffice. I would suggest calling your brokerage and asking them to provide you with enough documentation. One international friend had a "confirmation of holding" letter that showed his name, address, and accompanying share amounts of BRKB he owned. Whether it's a statement or other document, I think as long as you cover the above criteria most likely you will be set. Good luck and hope you have a great time at Berkshire! Say hi if you see me!
