For nearly 60 years, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett has captivated the attention of professional and retail investors by running circles around Wall Street many times over. Since becoming CEO in the mid-1960s, he's overseen an aggregate return of 4,938,103% in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A), as of the closing bell on March 14. For the sake of comparison, this is 146 times greater than the aggregate total return of the S 500, including dividends paid, over the same period.

Even though the affably named "Oracle of Omaha" won't be right all the time, his track record suggests he has a knack for finding value that's hiding in plain sight. That's why investors wait so anxiously for Berkshire Hathaway's Form 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
