Berkshire heading to second straight loss vs S&P
| Berkshire on pace to underperform S&P for second straight year With just three weeks remaining, Berkshire Hathaway's stock price is heading toward a decisive 2020 defeat against the benchmark S&P 500 stock index.
While they were both down about evenly in the dramatic COVID-induced sell-off in February and March, the S&P has had a stronger recovery.
It's up 13.4% year-to-date, while Berkshire's shares are roughly unchanged.
Warren Buffett has been criticized for not doing more stock buying when prices were lower.  If the margin holds, it will be the second consecutive year that Berkshire has underperformed by a double-digit percentage point margin.
