What is '5x'?
It is said that Jonathan Brandt was the 5x Featured Analyst at Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Shareholders Meeting. What is '5x'? What does 'x' represent?

Question

Answer

X is the symbol used in mathematics to mean "multiplied by", but colloquially in English we say "times".
5x2=10 (Five times Two equals Ten)
So he's just saying he has been the featured analyst five times.

Answer

thanks, Dominic~

Answer

You should read it as "5 time" even though it says "5x". It means he was the featured/best analyst at the meeting 5 times. If it's an adjective then 5x is 5 time but if it's a noun then 5x is 5 times
