That said Berkshire is a pretty poor example as it has a pretty diverse range of holdings, its basically a passive index of its own.
- lotsofpulp 4y agohttps://dqydj.com/sp-500-return-calculator/ https://dqydj.com/sp-500-return-calculator/ This site says SP500 with dividend reinvested is 270%. I also feel like SP500 has a lot less risk because politicians are very incentivized to provide a backstop to SP500 price, but not as much to BRK. Also, BRK is squeaking out 280% vs SPY 270% by being 25%+ invested in a single company, Apple. That is a lot of extra risk for not a lot of extra return.
- IMSAI8080 4y agoThat's incorrect, you forgot the dividends. I went with an analysis from last year where Berkshire was behind and was doing worse than the S&P. Now they're about evens. Berkshire is now an S&P500 tracker.
