Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway 50th Anniversary Symposium - Free Viewing

If you missed the Berkshire Hathaway 50th Anniversary Symposium at The Museum of American Finance in New York City, you missed a great event. Fortunately, the Symposium was videotaped and  the symposium's keynote address, by Lawrence Cunningham, is now available free.

Those new to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway will find all parts of the address to be educational and informative. Aficionados will be particularly interested in Cunningham's critique of "Berkshire's Blemishes," in Part 3. This includes prescriptions for modifying Berkshire, both now and especially when Warren Buffett leaves the scene.

The presentation is divided into five segments and can be found below:

Part 1: What Will Happen to Berkshire After Buffett? 




Part 2: The Beauty of the Berkshire Model




Part 3: The Blemishes of the Berkshire Model




Part 4: Audience Q&A Session 1




Part 5: Audience Q&A Session 2
