Buffett's Stock Mastery: Beating the S&P 500 Even in a Crash

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has outperformed the S&P 500 by a wide margin, with its stock soaring nearly 3,800,000% between 1965 and 2022, compared to the S&P 500's 25,000% gain over the same period. Even if Berkshire's stock crashed 99%, it would still have outperformed the index. Berkshire's Class A shares have climbed 17% this year, reaching a near-record $550,000 per share. The company's success is attributed to Buffett's long-term investments and the vast scale of Berkshire, which owns numerous businesses and multibillion-dollar stakes in public companies.
