I many times get the glazed over look when mentioning terms like % return , %/Yr outperformance and % relative comparisons when talking to my kids/grandkids about saving, investing, inflation, & spending "within your means" etc''but they sure know the differance between Chevy's & Ferrari's :)'.so converting these %'s to $$$ always gets the point across.

With that in mind & the previous comments on the Pabrai funds past long term performance, ( 5, !0, & 20 Yrs ) , I have compared the Pabrai Funds to the S&P 500 and Berkshire. The values assume an initial investment of $10,000 in each starting 5 , 10, 20 yrs ago ending June 30, 2023.

$10,000 Inv Period.
