Warren Buffett’s stock picking skills are legendary. Thanks to his once-in-a-generation abilities, shares of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK.B) have compounded at an average annual rate of 20% per year over the past half-century. It’s a track record that may never be replicated.
Even at 86 years old today, Buffett remains as active as ever, though he has since added two additional portfolio managers — Todd Combs and Ted Weschler — to help deploy Berkshire’s billions in capital.
