Subject: CAPE and BRK

Pointless, interesting, or what?
S&P500 CAPE is currently about 33. Interesting to me, it was also about 33 in January 1998, when I bought my first shares of Berkshire.
Berkshire performed significantly better than S&P500 since then. CAPE was also about 33 in June 2001, with the same result.
15 years ago, the S&P500 CAPE was 16, and S&P500 performed better than Berkshire since then.
Only three data points, of course, but could it be that relative valuation matters over the long term?
