Buffett study

The study can still be read.

What's the big deal about making the comment?

 

It appears to be an update of a study that was previously published in an earlier draft.  The Buffett part was merely a small section of that study.  The update appears to be that BRK over a long period ending 2012 had a Sharpe Ratio (meaning risk adjusted returns) better than any mutual fund or any S&P 500 stock had over any similar lengthy period of thirty years from 1926 to date.  The authors also deconstructed his alpha better so that the Betting Against Beta factor that supposedly underlay his returns became far less significant when allowing for the value aspects of the low beta stocks he bought.  :)

 

that's not surprising because Ziemba has previously calculated that Buffett has definitely been King on the Mountain when his long term returns are calculated using Ziemba's modified Sharpe Ratio.  :)
