A bit meta but can someone tell me if Warren Buffet is on course to win his bet[0]? It's set to expire next year.

There was an episode of Planet Money just a couple of months ago that says Buffett is indeed on track to win the bet:

CAGR of the S&P500 from 1/1/2008 until the end of 2015 was 6.5%. No idea what fund of funds they used but it's probably not going to be trivial to beat that (+whatever 2016 holds) over the time span after fees.
Thanks guys! :)
