Is Berkshire Hathaway Stock a Better Buy Than an S&P 500 Index Fund?
Both options are rooted in the same basic buy-and-hold philosophy, but one differs from the other in one way that's very important for the foreseeable future.
Investors often turn to S&P 500 index funds like Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) or SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) for their simplicity and superior performance. However, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA) (BRKB) remains an appealing option for those seeking a stake in a long-term, market-beating investment. Despite its complexities and numerous businesses, the conglomerate consistently outperformed the S&P 500 since Warren Buffett's leadership began in 1965.
