Re: Bary, more truth and reality 101,

The week's question

In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Good morning bud, 15 years ago I suggested brk buy 2 billion spy a month and just average in.

Buffett decided to hire two expert stock pickers, we all know how that turned out.

Has anyone done the comparison of Berkshire portfolio vs S&P500 the last 15 years? That huge Apple bet turned out well.

Nevertheless, this is what matters: SPY vs BRK:

SPY outperforms only in the last 16 months, and Berkshire is catching up!

Since we now plan to be net sellers we are singing glory hallelujah here in the AdrianC household.
