Over the course of six decades, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett has put on a clinic for Wall Street and everyday investors. Whereas the broad-based S 500 is nearing a total return, including dividends paid, of 34,000% since the affably named "Oracle of Omaha" became CEO in the mid-1960s, Buffett has overseen a jaw-dropping aggregate gain of nearly 5,000,000% for his company's Class A shares (BRK.A)!

Even though Buffett is just as fallible as any investor, he and his top investment aides, which until his recent passing included the "Architect of Berkshire Hathaway," Charlie Munger, have demonstrated a knack for finding bargains hiding in plain sight. Decades of sustained outperformance of the S 500 is why professional and everyday investors wait on the edge of their proverbial seats to find out what stocks Buffett and his team have been buying and selling.
