The 9th Omaha Dialogue: Sino-US Investors Reception, co-hosted by GCSRF, successfully concluded in Omaha

On the afternoon of May 4th, the 9th Omaha Dialogue: Sino-US Investors Reception, hosted by Sina Finance and co-hosted by the Global CSR Foundation (GCSRF) and the Sino-American Economic Society, was successfully held at the Omaha Marriott Hotel in downtown Omaha. As the largest and most influential investor exchange event during the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting, the reception brought together investment elites, leaders from Chinese public and private equity funds and brokerages, and executives from listed companies to share insights, facilitating a high-quality dialogue.

Guest Lineup and Event Agenda

The conference was filled with memorable quotes, pushing the event to its peak!

Winsley Durand: The greatest legend of Warren Buffett is that he insists on only investing in businesses and industries he understands. Everyone in his organization follows the same belief—investing only in companies and industries they know well.

Candius Jones: Our challenge is how to ensure equal and balanced access to technology for everyone. Good technology should benefit all, not just a select few.

Panel discussion

Ernie Goss: Buffett is a permanent legend in Omaha. He introduced the concept of value investing to the city. Investing should be about the fundamentals of a company and long-term gains, rather than quick ‘buy and sell’ transactions.

Kai-Fong Chen: Buffett is always one or two steps ahead of the rest. Last year, he discussed artificial intelligence and Microsoft, and this year, he emphasized the risks associated with AI.

Yun Zhang: If you ask professional fund managers what their biggest regret is, many will say selling high-quality companies or stocks too early. The opportunity cost is significant.

Li Wang: Buffett said that the only purpose of investing is to make money for shareholders. Impact investing has two goals: financial returns for shareholders and creating social value.

James Early: Value investing relies heavily on the power of compound interest. If you open a stock account for a newborn and put in $500, by the time the child is 70, it could grow into $500,000. You don’t even need Buffett to make that happen.

Steve Jordon: If a new technology causes unemployment for some or many people and not everyone benefits from it, it can create political and economic issues, which is something we hope to avoid.

Delong Yang: The recent capital inflows into the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets are not short-term; it could be part of a long-term recovery. The opportunities in the A-share and Hong Kong markets may exceed everyone’s expectations, as they are currently extremely undervalued.

The event left us wanting more, and we eagerly await next year. We look forward to seeing everyone again in Omaha!
