In 2008 Warren Buffett made a bet against hedge fund Protégé Partners. The bet was fairly simple. Protégé Partners could pick a group of hedge funds to perform against a simple S&P 500 index fund over the course of 10 years. Buffett bet $1 million that they couldn't outperform the simple index.

So, how's that bet looking today? Not so good given the huge run in the S&P 500 in the last few years. According to Forbes, the hedge funds have returned just 12.5% while the S&P 500 is up 43.8%. But it hasn't always been that lopsided. In fact, it looked pretty bad for Buffett in those first few years (I am just guessing that they're using the HFRI since the HFRI just happens to also be up 12.5% since 2008):

so he thinks we go down to 14,900 ?

I will re-read his posts,

14,900 is 10% correction ,
