If you had invested $10k in the medallion fund in 1988 you would have $420m today.
If you had invested the same amount into SPY, today you’d have $400k.
If you had invested the same amount into BRK, today you’d have $1.5m.

Seems like BRK is not as successfull as they used to be. They were in 80 90s 00s and 10s. But they are barely beating SP500 recenly. Not even sure about SP100. Something tells me it's because Buffet is so old and is hesitant to get into AI and tech which is where the money is today. His style worked decade or decades ago. World is changing though.

Buffet has done a solid job for an all around portfolio but his bet on Apple early on really drove a lot of his returns.
Simons was just different, he would know when to use leverage and just changed the way people thought about investing. Completely different philosophy than Buffet.
Simons doesn’t have the longevity that Warren has had but he doesn’t get the attention he’s deserved in my opinion. 66% gross annual returns for 30 years is unbelievable.

Maybe I misread it but without Apple BRK would really be lagging the market the last decade.
Warren has largely made his money in the first 30 or so years of his career, but many of his investments sans-Apple since 2000 have been questionable. Look at something like KO which has been a dog for a long time - Bill Ackman even questioned him about KO in the late 90s/early 00s about it at an annual meeting and Warren wouldn’t budge from it. Ackman was right though.
Good news is you only have to be right on one or two for it to matter.
