I recently ran across this article regarding the Performance of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Class shares and wanted to share it with you. Find the full article by clicking here.
Shares of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (Class A) have finished the year with a gain of 21.4 percent for 2010, far outperforming the benchmark S&P's 12.8 percent gain, excluding dividends.(We're using Class A to stay consistent with past years, despite the Class B split. The B shares are up 21.9 percent this year.)
The win reverses Buffett's defeat in 2009, when the S&P's 23.5 percent advance clobbered Berkshire's 2.7 percent gain.
Berkshire has beaten the S&P in four of the past five years, and six of the past ten years.
