The 87% that said "YES" to firing the manager for underperforming their bench by 100% over 5 years, nice work, you just fired Warren #Buffett on Feb 28, 2000 (see Fig 1)
Look now at Fig. 2: only two years after said Index Advocate would have fired Buffett, BRK was ahead of the index by 72%
The benefits of sitting out the crazy periods can be seen in Fig 3 below. That is Buffett from 1995 – today. Unfortunately Mr. Buffett will not live forever.
2/ With gas in Asia trading in the $20s, US Henry Hub at $5 and $100s of billions in LNG export facilities coming online in the US, where is that gas coming from?
3/ Remember, the US lifted the post 1970s ban on exporting energy in the heady year of 2015 when US debt markets were all-too-happy to lend to money losing shale, and Energy Stocks had a weight in the S&P 500 that was 3x higher than today.
