Note (2012 update): In my humble opinion, The Sunday press conferences (accessible only to journalists) are were even more important than the Saturday Annual Meetings. Alas journalists are probably exhausted from the day before ! It is why they are often not able to make a simple transcript of the press conference (any audio or video recordings being forbidden by Berkshire Hathaway since 2004) ! ;(  So join me and ask them ! ;) In 2012, the sunday press conference event has been canceled. According to The Omaha World Herald it existed since 1999. ;(
