Is that a Barrick shade of gold? I haven't received my annual report yet, but haven't been to the mailbox yet. BTW you might want to read this post that certainly applies to BRK:

I spend a lot of time reading academic literature on investing.

Note their huge BRK position isn't mentioned because it doesn't pay dividends.

Still there? I finally got my BRK annual report in the mail TODAY via my broker. And the notice of the annual meeting ten days ago.

Yes, a pale gold. Nothing lavish, of course, and none of those silly graphics and flow charts that bellow how trendy the company is. I had a broker years ago who despised those.

I'll take the report outside to skim if it ever stops raining here and the temp gets over 70 degrees.
