Fairly common points here;
2.Berkshire has under performed the market because the market has been doing really well as of late. They focus on investing in fundamentally sound companies, not hot companies. They poise their investments to grow over the long term, regardless of how the market is doing. If the market were to take a hit, Berkshire would be in much better shape than anyone else.
I think overall you will be right if 1) Buffet passes away while simultaneously 2) the market continues to make significant gains. Both things have to happen for your thesis to be right, until then I don't see why the stock won't stay where it is.
