Despite the decline, the Berkshire Hathaway manages to outperform the broader market, given that the S&P 500 has displays fall of 38,5% since the beginning of the year. Cause of the fall for Warren Buffett’s company is the fact that most of the shares in which it has invested on the path of weakening.
