"Buffett says this: his outperformance was mostly better in weak-index years."

Just spent some time on Berkshires annual report and saw the same. He likes to track book value to the S+P.
Before the last four years, by my count, when the S+P was up 10% or more, they bested it 20 of 24 times.

The last four years he is 0 for 3. No doubt because he fell 27% less in 2008.
