Tune In For Coverage of Buffett's Big Weekend

Tune in Saturday for continuing coverage of Buffettpalooza, otherwise known as the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) annual meeting.

TSC Contributing Editor Christopher Edmonds is in Omaha and will be filing dispatches from the all-weekend affair. Should be a festive occasion. The stock is up 45% since March 10.

Bershire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett may have lost some of his stock-picking magic, but he still has mythical qualities with investors. Edmonds writes about the incongruities at the annual meeting, and the danger of falling in love with the Chairman.

Omaha's stock-picking Oracle says the market party's over. Check out Edmonds' coverage of the seven-hour-long question-and-answer session with billionaire investor Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway shareholders.

Amidst the champagne, strawberries and shopping bags from glitzy jeweler Borsheim's, there was tension in the air in Omaha Friday evening at the first official gathering of this weekend's Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting. As Edmonds reports, shareholder disappointment -- if not outright discontent -- was palpable.
