The problem is there is little fundamental justification for brk.a to be up 15% YTD when most of the holdings have either performed inline with the market or underperformed it. Also, the buyout of Wriglys was a really bad idea. Why not buy AAPL or GOOG stock instead where there is actually growth and upside? I am a dumbass
The stock holdings in BRK 'only' have a value of $75bln as of 12/31/2007 out of the total $200 bln market cap. Might explain why the company as a whole did better than the equity portion of its holdings.
Stock, why not give that putz Buffet a call, i'm sure he has heard of your "index". You could have a meeting to tell him what an awful job he has done over the last 40 fucking years! He will probably sell out his entire portfolio and put market orders in to buy every momo stock on the planet......AT THEIR HIGHS!!!!
