I'm logged into CNBC live feed of the AM, wood stove going, rain pouring outside
There's a "watching now" ticker at the bottom of the CNBC scren: 15,xxx people following along at any given moment
Add the folks in the hall & overflow rooms and those who watch later -- the grand total certainly can't be more than 100K (can it?)
In just the US, there have to be, what, 25MM investors?
So only one in every twenty or so adult investors is watching assuming they're all in the US - which they aren't

Hey, give us a break, ssome of us at long last have a nice spring day instead of your rain. We'll watch bits of the annual meeting, and probably read the transcript, and we love Buffett and Munger to bits, but there is garlic to plant and hens and bees to look after and maybe a stroll along the beach. Munger would agree that investing isn't what you live your life for...
