The fool has a wrap up on the big meeting at:

The meeting was May 3.

While Berkshire might not be a bargain, its annual reports are a steal, containing the thoughts of the great one. They available online at:

» MichaelC_AU - Sticking to what you understand.

Here's a quote I enjoyed:

Buffett said he doesn't see the software world as clearly as the soft-drink world, and he doesn't think Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) will have a superior position to Coke. As he began eating his Dairy Queen Dilly Bar right there on stage, Buffett added: "The Dilly Bar is more certain in 10 years than any software."

» Hugs - Sectors of certainty

Things that you understand is a heck of a delimiter on a whole bunch of stuff. But considering which has a better certainty of being around in 10 years, I'd pick the internet, e-commerce, advertising, and at least some kind of software over the dilly bar any day of the week. But the dilly bar is unquestionably easier to understand.
