Has Buffett lost his touch?

Not so fast... [Wealthy Retirement]( SPONSORED [Is This Strange Device the Linchpin of the 5G Revolution?]( [Strange Device]( As This Device Gets Shipped Out to Homes Across the Country, ONE Small Cap Tech Stock Could SKYROCKET. [(The Full Story Here...)]( [MARKET TRENDS]( Why I Still Want to Own Shares of Berkshire Hathaway Jody Chudley, Contributing Analyst, The Oxford Club [Jody Chudley] The stock market setup today is incredibly simple to understand. [The expensive stocks are too expensive]( and the cheap stocks are really cheap. That makes our recipe for success very simple. It is time to get out of expensive growth stocks and into cheap value stocks. I see so many [parallels to the end of the dot-com bubble](... One is the recent stock market performance of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: [BRK-B](. While the most popular growth stocks have driven the S&P 500 higher in recent years, Berkshire has badly underperformed. [Chart - Berkshire Underperforms the S&P 500]( Berkshire has trailed the S&P 500 by 35% since the start of 2019. That is one of the worst two-year relative performance stretches in the history of the company. But those two years are in the rearview mirror... I'm more interested in what's ahead. And what I'm seeing makes me want to own Berkshire Hathaway. Last Time, This Was a Huge Buying Opportunity In the two years heading into the end of the dot-com bubble, Berkshire Hathaway massively underperformed the S&P 500. [Chart - Berkshire Falls Short]( In the late 1990s, the media was full of stories about Buffett being washed up. People thought he was out of touch. In December 1999, Barron's published an article titled "What's Wrong, Warren?" The story questioned why Buffett had missed out while day traders were becoming overnight millionaires speculating on explosive tech stocks. That Barron's article did not age well... Almost immediately thereafter, the dot-com bubble popped and [technology stocks crashed](. SPONSORED [It's Like Betting on a Coin Toss...

[Click Here to See This WIN-BOTH-WAYS Trade]( While day traders who had speculated on outrageously expensive tech stocks were being wiped out, Buffett and Berkshire massively outperformed. In the three years following the dot-com crash, Berkshire beat the S&P 500 by 70%. [Chart - Berkshire Trounces the S&P 500]( Now here we are, 20 years later, with a remarkably similar situation. If you do an internet search today on the words "Warren Buffett" and "underperform," you will find plenty of recent articles suggesting it is time for him to retire. Those articles are like music to my ears. Their skepticism tells me Berkshire is ready for another multiyear run of outperformance. I'm Making a Bold Call... I don't make short-term calls. I believe that is a fool's errand. Anything can happen in the market over the short term. I am, however, willing to pound the table today and say that I believe Berkshire Hathaway will wildly outperform the S&P 500 over the next three years. I've got four main reasons for saying that... - Dominated by [Big Tech stocks]( the S&P 500 has never been more expensively valued than it is today. - [Eventually, valuation matters]( - probably sooner rather than later. From a historically high valuation, the S&P 500's upside is limited. - At roughly 1.2 times book value, Berkshire Hathaway has rarely been more attractively valued. When the cycle finally turns and the market once again starts appreciating value, shares of Berkshire Hathaway are going to be one of the first places money starts flowing. Not to mention, for the first time ever, Warren Buffett is repurchasing billions of dollars' worth of Berkshire shares... - With many operating subsidiaries (like Burlington Northern, Clayton Homes and Precision Castparts) that are sensitive to the U.S. economy, Berkshire's earnings are going to soar as the vaccine rollout allows economic growth to ramp up. That makes Berkshire a great post-COVID-19 trade. And then, of course, there is the cash. Berkshire is now sitting on $150 billion, and Buffett is always on the lookout to deploy it wisely. If Buffett or his investing lieutenants can put a meaningful amount of that cash to work, it could immediately provide a big boost to Berkshire's [earnings](. If nothing else, its cash and Fort Knox balance sheet probably make Berkshire the safest stock to own in the entire stock market. And in a historically expensive market, "safe" sounds great to me.
