Warren Buffett has been silent about the Trump tariffs since they were announced. That could come to an end this weekend.
Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting has been called “Woodstock for capitalists.” It’s a three-day event that offers everything from shopping to a 5K race to a picnic and it draws as many as 40,000 people from around the world each year.
For most of those, Buffett’s thoughts on investing and the current economic climate are the highlights. Others are there to look for celebrities. And some just want to load up on things like the Warren Buffett squishmallows.
This will be the second Berkshire Hathaway meeting without Buffett’s long-time business partner Charlie Munger, who passed away in November 2023 at the age of 99.
Can’t make the journey out to Nebraska or don’t own shares and can’t get in the door? You can still hear what Buffett has to say.
The heart of the meeting will take place on Saturday, May 3. The Q&A session with Buffett will begin at 9:00 a.m. ET. and run through 2:00 p.m. ET, with a half-hour break at 11:30 a.m.
CNBC will air the Q&A, with coverage starting at 8:30 a.m. ET on May 3.
Questions will alternate between shareholders attending the meeting in person and those submitted by shareholders online to berkshirequestions@cnbc.com. CNBC’s Becky Quick will moderate the Q&A.
Another option, of course, is via the myriad of streaming sites that carry CNBC. Here are a few options.
Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $83 per month ($96 with no ads).
Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $61 per month. The seven-day free trial is no longer offered.
