  • Buffett Backs S&P 500 ETF Even as Market Looks Pricey
    July 11, 2026, 9:54 PM EDT. Warren Buffett has stood by the S&P 500 ETF as a low-fee way to invest for the long haul. The Buffett indicator is at a record 236%, which some see as a warning, but Buffett's S&P pick hasn't changed. Back in 2008, Buffett's famous $1 million bet showed the S&P 500 ETF returned 126% over a decade, while active funds only managed 36%. Crestmont Research says the index posted gains in every 20-year stretch since launch. Big names in tech now make up nearly a third of the ETF and could mean more price swings in the short term. The ETF will only match the market, not beat it, which matters for investors thinking about long-term results. Risk and holding period are key.
