I will spell it out to help you understand. We all know that in the past Buffett reported on their performance, but back then their jobs were mostly just stock picking and allocating the money they were given. The article you linked to was from early 2019 (over 4 years ago). Do you think things might have changed since then in the way I suggested? Their jobs are much more varied and collaborative now and a simple performance benchmark is no longer appropriate.

What makes the link even more humorous is that was during the craziness of the S&P valuation bubble. The S&P was also crushing Buffett and Berkshire as well at that time.

Given that info, how can you still think it applies to today? Seriously? You also dodged the question. How much of the Apple purchase do you credit to T & T since they had a bit of influence on the decision to purchase it? How do you figure that into their performance?
