Subject: Re: Just reviewed my YTD performance
sleepydragon,

I made the same observation :-).

The year would have been better if I had done absolutely nothing.

The year was mixed. I sold some Berkshire at the beginning of the year.
Bought some Occidental, but sold it pretty immediately with a small loss after I thought that Berkshire will be the better investment.

But I got lucky, too.
On the Election Day I loaded up on Berkshire again, because most serious polls were showing Trump will win.

Now I am back to 100% in Berkshire and sleeping very well.
My diversification attempts failed miserably.

It is very hard to beat Berkshire!!!

It is very easy with Berkshire to get a "big seller regret syndrome".
The share price tends to be exponentially upward longer-term.
