Gold has now outperformed $XOM by over 35%, including reinvested dividends, since Buffett wrote that he'd rather buy XOM over gold in February 2012. 

It was a great timing call because gold was flush with positive sentiment at the time, but 8+ years later, gold is now ahead. https://t.co/sFSDsVXmkb https://t.co/ufvfIbzUC4
