Hmmmmmmm....someone who bought AOL on 1/1/98 still has a 500% paper profit. A Berkshire holder would have had to buy on 1/1/93 to achieve the same result. A trader using a 10% trailing stop loss with AOL would have locked in closer to a 1000% profit. Why do Berkshire holders have to hide behind this defense of being smug when the stock clearly hasn't performed in the past year or so? The numbers are clear.
