As even a casual followers of Buffett would recall, WEB has many times taken hedge funds to task for their onerous fees and has proclaimed that investors would be better off owning the S&P Index over the long term. WEB was willing to bet $1 million but no one prior to this had taken him up on the bet.

Well, now the bet is official. Read all about it here

I would assume Mr Buffett will provide updates on how this bet is performing at his annual meetings

Would love to know what you think how this will turn out. Let’s keep this discussion going. You may want to subscribe to the feed or bookmark this page for further updates.
