The results speak volumes: Since 1965, Berkshire's cumulative returns have skyrocketed by over 4 million percent, delivering a compounded annual gain of 19.8%. In stark contrast, the S&P 500 has returned just 10.2% annually over the same period. This outperformance underscores Buffett's genius in capital allocation, turning shareholder dollars into enduring value."

This self-reinforcing strategy highlights his belief in Berkshire's intrinsic strengths - its float from insurance operations, decentralized management, and Buffett's own track record."
