Alec Hogg: Happy Birthday to investment icon Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett, one of the world's most closely watched investors, has reached the milestone of 90.
A decade and a half ago, former FirstRand chairman Laurie Dippenaar urged me to join the growing group of South Africans who travelled to Omaha in late April to experience the world's best attended AGM.
Laurie also urged me to make the trip to Berkshire Hathaway's AGM soon. His logic was sound: with chairman Warren Buffett (75) and vice chairman his Charlie Munger in his early 80s, "they won't be around forever, you know."
