Does American Express have the Bank of America logo in the 2000 circle on purpose?
Thanks for the data. It looks pretty great overall, though I have to be frank and tell you that it took me a while to notice you are trying to compare two periods. I think it is how your title is organized and the fact that you depend on the arrows from the title to the circles to tell the reader that each circle is a given year.
Trying to provide constructive feedback 🙂
This is a portfolio of public companies and it represents less than 30% of Berkshire assets.
When Buffet really likes something, he buys it. Berkshire bought GEICO 1996. GEICO would be worth more than Coca-Cola and American Express together.
It didn’t take long to shed off Wells Fargo xD
God. The worst credit card company (even worse than DFS) and one of the worst banks.
Horizontal bar charts would be so much easier to read and interpret.
The portfolio value has increased only 7.4 times in 24 years? Is there something that I am missing about the investment acumen of the Oracle of Omaha?
