Nati Harnik/The Associated Press Warren E. Buffett and Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway, projected on the screen, preside over the firm’s 2010 annual meeting.
For many, Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting is something like a Woodstock for capitalists. Thousands flock from around the globe to Omaha to listen to Berkshire’s chief executive, Warren E. Buffett expound on the world at large, and this year is no exception.
DealBook has gathered some shots of the goings on at the Berkshire meeting, including the lighter moments that Mr. Buffett is known to indulge in. (Chief among them, as always: playing his ukelele and snacking on frozen treats from Dairy Queen, one of his favorite repasts.)
