Poll: 5 year challenge (posted December 2020)

For the sake of preserving history, on December 10, 2020 I posted the following poll:


5 years from now, which of the following do you think will be worth the most (defined by market price)? All choices sell for roughly $340,000 at this moment.

In alphabetical order:

18.8 Bitcoins
1 BRK-A
940 SNOW
930 SPY (dividend adjust entry price for final result)
590 TSLA


Poll results were:

44% (32 Votes) 1 BRK-A
22% (16 Votes) 930 SPY + accumulated dividends
18% (13 Votes) 18.8 Bitcoins
9% (7 Votes) 940 SNOW
5% (4 Votes) 590 TSLA

Note: TSLA has to be split adjusted 3:1.

And here are the % changes to date:

Item % change
BRK-A 22.06%
TSLA 7.06%
Bitcoin 6.24%
SPY 2.73%
SNOW -57.56%

The only one beating inflation is BRK-A.

Nice! Thx for update! I’ve been long since 97…majority of my net worth. I just keep adding on the dips. Berkshire, of course.

To quote one of our eminent posters:

“Dollar cost average. Get rich slowly. Sleep well. Enjoy life.” :joy::wink:

Except that poster is always telling you that BRK is going to do terribly relative to most of the other options in the poll.

Aguila,

I hope you don’t mind me posting the results you posted on Shrewdom:

Update December 17, 2022

After two years Berkshire is in the lead:

BRK-A +33.7%
SPY +8.4%
Bitcoin -7.5%
TSLA -21.8%
SNOW -60.1%

Except for SNOW performing worse than TSLA, the relative returns match the original poll results.
