Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.B)

[Duma]

I would be interested to hear how you came to that conclusion. Seems to me that BRK is not such a good etf. One has to remember that Buffet trades about 60% on margin to get the gains that he does. SPY would only need 11% margin to match. Also BRK has a higher beta as would be expected with the high margin.

5 years compounded gains and loss for 2015.

 
        5 yr        2015 
  
 BRK   113.6%     -12.1% 
  
 SPY    99.4%      gain 
 IWM    99.2%      -4.5% 
 QQQ   125.0%      gain

My most aggressive account I am running 50% IWM and 50% QQQ at 125% (25% on margin) as of now. I am also trading a pretty slow daily chart that prevents big drawdowns and allows me to beat buy and holding by usually 5-10%.
