Redefining Risk, and the Future of Trading Technology

The Express returns to Omaha, Nebraska where tens of thousands of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders have gathered for 60 years to hear words of wisdom from Warren Buffett and listen to how he intends to keep growing their investment. Absent this year, of course, was Charlie Munger, Berkshire's former Vice-Chairman and Buffett's partner in building the conglomerate, who passed away last November just one month shy of his 100th birthday. We caught up with the Berkshire faithful as they shopped til they dropped and listened to Buffett's succession plans as he passes the reins to Greg Abel and Ajit Jain.
