Strategies & Market Trends : Buy Berkshire instead of Vanguard S&P (BRKA) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Unfortunately, I only 1/2 took my own advice, and never bought any Berkshire. I did move all of my fund money out of tech and put it 60% treasury and 40% value. The value fund saw 15% gain during the carnage, and the treasury saw the normal 6%. The tech fund I abandoned dropped 67% after I got out. I recently moved back to the tech fund which has cut the 1 year loss down to 47%. Not sure if I am going to stay in that fund, however, as I am concerned about the next few quarters. Also, I held Mitel which survived the carnage, only to be smeared by inept management, and thus while still in the black, on that one, I am down from 36 to 9 and change.
