One of my favorite places, if not my favorite, are the bookstores. I specifically love Powerbooks because they allow customers to try to read the books almost indefinitely. Whenever I visit one of their branches, this are the times I would get hold of expensive books which I wouldn’t want to purchase even if I want to. Mahal kasi. haha! Yesterday, I was able to read some pages of ‘A Weekend with Warren Buffett: And Other Shareholder Meeting Adventures” by Randy Cepuch.
Here, the author shares his experiences attending annual shareholders’ meetings in different places, one of which is Berkshire Hathaway - Buffett’s conglomerate. Mr. Randy candidly admitted that in 1999 he bough a single share of Berkshire - his first ever stock. He also recalls his face-to-face encounter with the “Oracle of Omaha.” I hope my cousin was not rushing yesterday that I get to read more pages.hehe!
