Berkshire up almost 2 percent today, near All Time High, while the rest of the market melts down.
People that ignored the fact that he was dumping stocks at an unprecedented rate are paying the price now, well unless they own Berkshire Hathaway
I don't know why people couldn't see this coming, all of the signs were there.

But he started dumping those stocks over a year ago. And in that time, even with the current pull back, the stock market is UP over 15%.

You mean he didn't sell $250 Billion of stock in one day ?

Since you are so smart and have the crystal ball, why didn’t you create an account sooner to warn us all?

I saw it coming before you did and made a ton of money on the trade. It was even more obvious than you realized.

Beating the S&P was cool when I was 12. There is a rock that people buy at Costco that has been beating the shite out of the S&P. Come to think of it, if your entire portfolio was 50% Costco and 50% of the rock you can buy on your way to the checkout at Costco, you’d be killing Buffet, the S&P and 99% of the people that post here.

I’m not a Costco member unfortunately, but that’s what I hear.

He did. This is his 8th account in the last 12 months.

And over what time is it supposed to be out stripping the S&P500?



Stocks beat the shite out of gold in the vast majority of 29 year rolling periods, and it’s not particularly close in those periods.

Gold has taken 5 out of the last 6 years from the S&P and the recent trends are concerning IMO. I’d also argue that when you adjust for risk, it’s probably the better investment at this point in time. Don’t get me wrong, I’d own my fair share of equities but there is a tangible move towards hard assets that is underway.

The never ending waves of global liquidity have bastardized equities IMO. I know it’s a fringe take but that’s my gut.

Last thing, the GFC and Covid were both transformational events within the context of this discussion. I’m not sure you can compare 2025 to 1996.
