racemize Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 anyone have a source for his long-term record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobafdek Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 anyone have a source for his long-term record? Found an old Barron's clipping I tore out from 2005, available on the web (http://online.barrons.com/articles/SB113478045592625309?tesla=y): from 12-31-1994 through 9-30-2005, Kahn Brothers 16.6% annualized, S&P500 11.5%, Russell 2000 9.6. But I think you and I and others would like his 87-year record, if available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
