If you look at QQQ vs VOO during the lost decade, here is your result:And QQQ has far outperformed both (and there is a heavy weighting of QQQ's winners in VOO).The point is that a simple indexed based fund out performed BRK.B for a period of 21 years. This goes back to a prior thread asking if Warren Buffet has lost his "mojo".A small nit -- if this were in taxable, the investor would have paid taxes on dividends along the way which has not been captured in this comparison.Remove the August 2024 bump and you have a different story:
Berkshire has outperformed VOO over that past 1, 5, and 10 year periods...

The last 15 years have been very kind to tech.
If you look at the period from say 2000-2008 which wasn't kind to tech, you see BRK outperforms VOO by a massive margin. Similar if we look at 2022 which was another "risk off" year.
BRK is a conservative business. When risk is running wild, they will do poorly.
