Warren Buffett is certainly showing his love for Canada this month.
Fresh from his Monday luncheon in New York with the folks at Salida Capital, a Toronto-based hedge fund that paid $1.68-million through an annual charity auction to break bread with the Oracle of Omaha, the Richard Ivey School of Business has announced that Mr. Buffett will welcome a contingent of MBA and undergraduate students from the London, Ontario -based program to the Berkshire Hathaway headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska later this week.
According the itinerary released by the school, the trip will take place February 26 and include a tour of Nebraska Furniture Mart, one of Berkshire's companies, as well as a question-and-answer session and luncheon with Mr. Buffett.
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said George Athanassakos, professor of finance, who heads the Ben Graham Centre of Value Investing at Ivey.
“It’s a chance to interact with a financial genius and learn from him.”
