He hasn’t beaten the S&P 500 in 20-30 years. What are you talking about.

Hey Retard.
Over the last 20 years they have been equal.
Over the history of Berkshire he has blown the S&P away, and returned double the S&P.

You just need to stop, you look dumber with every post :lol:

Your reading comprehension is worse than your math. I said the man has not done anything in over 20 years. That is true. What he did in 1885 is really of no importance.

So people haven't lost a dime over the last 20 years by having money in Berkshire vs the S&P since their performance is identical.
Over the last 60 years people have lost a fortune by having money in the S&P instead of Berkshire because Berkshire has doubled the return of the S&P.

Dude, you just need to stop already, you look like an idiot.

Your math is just outstanding. You're right. There is no opportunity cost lost by holding hundreds of billions in cash and not in investments.

None.

Thank you for the lesson.

So Buffett is a moron for not being 100 percent invested at all times ?

You are a special kind of stupid.

I deal in facts.
Fact: Since 1965 Buffett has doubled the return of the S&P, period.

You're acting like he's an idiot because he could have made more money had he had all of that cash deployed in the S&P.

Muh, if he had all of that cash in NVDA for the last year he would have done better.
Muh, if he had all of that cash in Bitcoin for "whatever time frame you want to cherry pick" he would have done better.

It's Monday Morning Quarterbacking idiot logic.

Over the last 20 years he has matched the S&P.
Over the last 60 years he has doubled the S&P.

Period, end of story, thanks for playing, have a nice day.

Buffet will be selling more positions. He’s worried about the tax changes coming with the election.

So I've always wondered what people do with 10s of millions of dollars+ of cash, but dang what does a company like Berkshire do with so much cash on hand?? Is there insurance the purchase to protect them like the FDIC does we pions of the world?

AAPL has struggled to break thru 200, so I guess that won't happen anytime soon. It's definitely looking to be a stale stock.

Has anyone done the math on how much money buffet has lost by holding cash instead of just having it sit in the S&P 500?


You can't time the market. But, you can hedge your bets.

I’m sure his cash is not sitting in a low yield account

These days he could be getting 5% safely so that’s a strong consideration when deciding to take some chips off the table

Do you know how much they are authorized to buyback shares?
