The notion that Buffett is outdated may itself be outdated.The naysayers had their moments. After all, for five years through 2019 -- before fiscal and monetary stimulus in response to the pandemic distorted financial markets -- Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares (BRKA) rose 51%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average  returned 81% and the benchmark S&P 500 Index  returned 74%, with dividends reinvested. (Berkshire Hathaway doesn't pay dividends.)For five years through 2020 -- an amazing year for technology stocks -- Berkshire's Class B shares rose 76%, while the Dow returned 98% and the S&P 500 returned 103%.Now look at a five-year chart showing returns for all three through April 26, 2022:FactSetBerkshire is ahead for five years. But one five-year snapshot doesn't tell the whole story. Here are two tables  showing returns for all three for various periods.First, total returns through April 22:And now average annual returns for various numbers of years through April 22:Berkshire's returns have beaten those of the Dow and the S&P 500 for all the periods shown above, strikingly so for the longer periods.Having a good 2022 while the broad market  has declined  is, of course, an important part  of the story.One criticism of Buffett's approach -- especially during periods when Berkshire's stock underperformed the broad market -- has been an inability to make new acquisitions that are \"large enough to move the needle,\" because Berkshire Hathaway is such a large conglomerate. Its market capitalization is about $733 billion.But Buffett explains the company's advantages in his annual letters to shareholders, including the \"float\" from  its core insurance businesses and the high levels of free cash flow he and his colleagues have emphasized when making acquisitions over the decades.You can read Buffett's annual letters here, and they are instructive for any investor following any style. He also admits to making mistakes, including buying businesses that turned out to be \"marginal,\" as he wrote in the 2021 letter published  in February.Nobody's perfect. But you can see above that what may appear to be an overly conservative investing style in a high-tech world can pan out well over long periods that include good and bad economic cycles. And you should also keep in mind that no matter what new technology comes about, people and businesses still need insurance.Berkshire's investment portfolioPublicly traded corporations that invest in other companies' common shares, but haven't incorporated those businesses into their own financial statements, are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to report their stock holdings within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter. These are known as 13F filings. Berkshire's most recent 13F was filed on Feb. 14 and listed holdings as of Dec. 31.Since then, Berkshire has built up a 14.6% position in Occidental Petroleum Corp.'s $(OXY)$ common shares.For the most part, the Berkshire Hathaway stock portfolio information available is as of Dec. 31. So the following lists are as of that date. Berkshire is active, adding and trimming various positions in any one quarter.According to Berkshire's most recent 13F filing, the company held 42 common stocks with a combined market value of $330.9 billion, according to stock price information provided by FactSet. The value of Berkshire's 5.4% stake in Apple Inc.'s shares was $157.5 billion, or 48% of the total portfolio.Here are the 11 stocks for which Berkshire's holdings were worth at least $4 billion as of Dec. 31:Sources: Berkshire Hathaway 13F filing on Feb. 14, 2022;
