Warren Buffett expects record crowd for AGM

Record crowd

New York: By one measure, Warren Buffett is coming off his worst year ever. But by another measure, the investor may be more popular than ever.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc, Buffett's insurance and investment company, expects a record 35,000 people to attend its annual meeting on Saturday.

That's up from 32,000 last year, a crowd that was already bursting the seams of the Qwest Center in downtown Omaha in what has become known as "Woodstock for Capitalists."
