Yes. the moves after the pandemic were mindboggling, considering how mundane of a commodity cold rolled steel is.

It's Graco GGG.

 

One of my favorite companies! They fly under the radar pretty good. I got super lucky and bought quite a bit for me and some family members in February 2009. Not quite a bottom tick but pretty close. I've sold along the way up and just kick myself in the ass. Been looking to opportunistically re-build my holding.

Correct.

 

I hope you didn't recognize it because it's a holding of yours.

 

I've been holding in a Trust for four years...

It’s part of my kennel portfolio. Gladly bought right around 90 at the end of September. I’ve followed it for a long time though so I recognized it instantly.
 

I’m not sure about the lawsuits but the patented products are in everything.

Nice timing.

 

Good luck!

Next hint: it trades on NYSE.

 

Well it looks like Southern Copper to me.

You got that right.

 

The point is that there are stocks and fund managers out there who have vastly outperformed Berkshire but nobody will know because of the Buffett brainwash syndrome and the scam of charts without the dividends.

 

 

Well not me, I had my entire net worth in Southern Copper since 1996 so I'm one of the special ones. (jk)

Is that Starbucks?

No but commendable attempt because it looks closer and well above less than 1000% return of BRK.

 

The return of SBUX during that period was only about 3600% compared to about 4800% on this one.

 

Ok,  toro company would be really close here too. I’m going off my iPhone stock list without cheating. It’s fun. 

[Pauly]

I don't get it. Do you think that people here believe that Berkshire has been the best performing stock over the last 25 years? No one thinks that.

Sure. Toro (TTC) is actually far ahead with about 6300% during that period (starting Nov 99) compared to 968% for BRK.

 

Good to see many examples of companies leaving BRK far behind because some people are brainwashed over Berkshire.

 

   

 

and going back to 1984. BRK has outperformed TTC by 2.5x. So what is the reason for this random comparison from an arbitrary date?

Not arbitrary, that date is the maximum starting point from when that stock in the original question has data from.

 

 

But what's the value of the comparison?  Looking backwards for charts that beat Berkshire is pretty easy.  Are you saying these stocks will do well going forward?  If so why?  As Buffett says, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windscreen.

Comparison value is very logical like we would do with an index. Nothing to do with looking backward or forward.

 

I am actually boosting Buffett's Berkshire as a benchmark. However, I understand if it appears offensive.

This may be sensitive issue and hurt public sentiments as the masses are programmed with {Buffett == Oracle}.

What is an Oracle anyway? A more technologically advanced translation of the word Prophet?

 

You may still participate in the chart game by ignoring the red line at bottom and just focus on the blue line above.

 

Im still confused.  What are we trying to accomplish with random comparisons looking backward?

My interpretation of this whole thread is that it's about entertainment.

 

So, I imagine almost every comment, including this one, is intended to entertain the writer or the potential audience.

The hint made me think of RLI (replacement lens insurance for contact lenses originally !!) but despite having a similar return profile since 1999 it isn't the chart you posted.  Plus RLI has a data series going back to 1972.

 

Oh well keep guessing
