There’s still a lot of time left in the game but so far Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway class A shares are down 6.8 % over the last six months and losing to the benchmark S&P 500 stock index, which is up 1.8%, excluding dividends.
2008 was Berkshire’s worst performance in nearly 30 years.
According to CNBC, since 1977 Berkshire has outperformed the S&P in 24 out of 32 years. Buffett’s average annual gain is 28.4%, compared to 8.3% for the S&P.
