One more point for Warren Buffett. Indeed, four. In 2012, the American billionaire, guru of global finance, tore up the market by posting gains higher than those of the entire S&P 500 index. The stock of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett's holding company, rose by 17%, a full four points in more than the index.
It was mainly his five billion dollar investment in Bank of America, which has gained nearly 50% since then, that got the super-financier's shares off the ground.
American Express and Wells Fargo also performed well, with increases exceeding 20% last year. And they're two of the largest holdings in Buffett's portfolio.
