Back from a two year pandemic inspired hiatus, John and I retook the floor surrounded by the good folk from The Bookworm.

Let’s cut to the chase, shall we? We sold out our entire stock by late Saturday afternoon. 506 copies to be exact. What an amazing experience.

Some takeaways from this year’s experience:

• Crowds weren’t quite as large as in previous years, but the people who were there were really excited and enthusiastic.

• We sold books to two sets of Finns, and a group from Singapore, growing our global outreach to 29 countries.

• We met some amazing people, including a financial planner called Lauren Templeton. I’m attaching a link to the story she wrote about financial literacy and the Omaha experience. https://oraclesfables.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/a61eb-thepilgrimagetofinancialliteracyleadstoomaha.pdf

• Lastly, Advil and a good scotch seems to work exceptionally well after spending 13 hours standing on a concrete floor. 🙂

John Prescott and I fully intended to greet Berkshire Hathaway revelers with open arms this weekend. Then it was with avid elbow bumps, then it was… you know the sad story.

This year will be different, so we decided to do a new fable. You won’t find it in this version of The Oracle’s Fables, but stay tuned.

Our wish to you all: Stay at home. Stay healthy and stay hopeful. We’ll really get through this, and  we can’t wait to see you next year.

We’re extremely thankful to Genevieve Randall who  was kind enough to include us on her Friday Live radio program on NET radio.

She’s a great interviewer who makes you feel relaxed and comfortable.

Some of her listeners visited us at the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting on Friday and Saturday.

Following this last weekend’s BH Shareholder meeting, we were excited to add three new countries to our distribution list: Israel, Switzerland and Ecuador.

Are there any value investors in Russia? Time will tell.

Here’s how it looks:

John Prescott and I spent year 5 down at the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s meeting in Omaha, Nebraska offering up “The Oracle’s Fables” to Berkshire Shareholders.

It was a zoo, albeit a fun zoo.

Great people and great stories came through the booth, and we sold out again-for the fourth time. It seems that shareholders really get the message of our book that it’s never too early to start making wise decisions.

Thanks to one and all who came by to see us, and thanks to those who chose our book.

This Sunday, November 25th, John Prescott and I will be signing copies of “The Oracle’s Fables” at the Joslyn Art Museum’s gift shop from 2-3 p.m.

We’d love to see you!

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder’s meeting this weekend. Be sure to bring your smiles and your umbrella.
