1 Reason I Don't Own Berkshire Hathaway Stock

Показать описание
If you were to ask any knowledgeable investor for the name of the most successful financial holding company in history, chances are they'll respond with Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A)(NYSE: BRK-B).

And they'd be right; since Warren Buffett took the helm nearly five decades ago, Berkshire Hathaway has averaged a compound annual gain in book value in excess of 19%, absolutely crushing the S&P 500's returns by more than 10% per year and turning thousands into millions.

What's more, as I explain in the following video, I'm convinced Berkshire Hathaway still has all the necessary ingredients to continue beating the market going forward -- albeit at a lower clip than it did in years' past given the constraints of its enormous size.

But I don't personally own Berkshire Hathaway stock.

Why? Because I prefer holding shares of Markel (NYSE: MKL) instead, a much smaller financial holding company with decades of growth ahead of it. To hear my full take on why I choose to own shares of Markel instead of Berkshire Hathaway, check out the video below.

Well... what? For TLDW: MKL size < BRK size. Even though BRK potential return > MKL potential return. MKL > BRK. Impeccable logic at work.

Whether you own it or not why is it important that we know it?

I delve into MKL, they r in deep trouble now. Possible violation in securities law. Firm with that small size can blow itself up in no time with risk such as this. Impressed by its performance, but not whole lot better than BRK. If so, why not play safe in blue chip?

BRK B's only aim is to beat the S&P 500, if it can't do that, you might as well own the S&P 500. No point in owning BRK B, unless you are happy with slightly beating the market over the next few years and matching or underperforming the market over the next few decades.
