" Yikes, looking back at that 2000-2009 stretch. That’s a CAGR of about 4.5%.

Or how about June 1998-June 2012 time span? A CAGR of 3.25% over 14 years, before the parabolic rise of the last 13 years."

You left out, how much stock did Buffett buyback during those years? In what year did Buffett finally authorize a buyback at all? What was the LIMIT for the original buyback? From 2007 ish on how much of Buffett's life's work did the foundations sell around BV or at slight premiums to BV into the public market? Asking for a friend, so no one jumps me. PLUS, Uncle Warren wasn't giving out stock options like candy on Halloween, so buybacks would have actually reduced the issued and outstanding. HOW could the entire shareholder base have not been begging for buyback's back then, how? I let it bother me to the tune of tens of millions of dollars. Oh well. Thank you.
