"There's no question they figured out how to game the system," Mr. Buffett says. He said he didn't like Fidelity's ploy because "it's not in the spirit of the meeting."
Mr. Buffett says he is still formulating his countermove and is likely to detail a new questioning system before the next meeting on May 5.
