The 3 Biggest Reasons Buffett Has Underperformed Over the Past Decade

On Wall Street, few, if any, investors are revered as much as Warren Buffett. The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) has been an absolute stock-picking dynamo since the mid-1960s, with his company's 2019 shareholder letter noting that Berkshire's per-share market gain over the past 55 years is a cool 2,744,062%. And, no, that's not a typo. If you had invested $100 into Berkshire Hathaway at the beginning of 1964, you'd have more than $2.7 million by the end of 2019.
