A look at how Berkshire’s stock — and its equity holdings — have fared ahead of the annual shareholders meeting on Saturday

Tens of thousands of people will descend on Omaha, Nebraska, to attend the annual shareholder weekend for billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Buffett, 94, is expected to answer shareholder questions over four and a half hours at Berkshire's annual meeting on Saturday.

Berkshire is a great stock to own during market corrections. And regardless of what occurs on May 3, these structural advantages likely won't change. So yes, Berkshire looks like an attractive buy before earnings are announced. But shares are a buy for long term investors regardless of whether you buy this week or next.
