Look at ytd numbers for vig (Vanguard Dividend Appreciation) versus Brk-B and tell me what you see:
And what do you see if you look at 5 years instead of 5 months?
I see BRK ahead by almost 50%.
Over a short period like 5 months, I’d argue that comparative returns are pretty much random. You don’t see real differences until you look at something much longer.
