What does Buffett think? Berkshire shareholders, business world eager to read annual letter

Buffett’s annual letter to be released Saturday

OMAHA, Neb. — Billionaire Warren Buffett will likely use a few lines in his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders to welcome new investors the company acquired along with BNSF railroad.

Buffett’s letter and Berkshire’s 2009 annual report will be posted online at www.berkshirehathaway.com on Saturday morning.

The shareholder letter Buffett writes remains one of the best-read and most-quoted business documents every year because so many people follow Buffett, the so-called Oracle of Omaha.

But analyst Justin Fuller says the letter may be losing some of its impact because Buffett grants more interviews than he used to do.
