2 Top Buffett Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Long Haul
One of the keys to Warren Buffett's phenomenal success over the years has been his willingness to buy stocks of good companies possessing long runways of future growth at discounted prices and then hold them for the long haul.
Using exactly that strategy, Buffett has generated aggregate gains of 3,641,613% since taking control of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) in 1965, for a 20.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). In comparison, the S&P 500 has generated 30,209% in total returns over that period, for a CAGR of 10.5%. In other words, there's a good reason Buffett is referred to as the Oracle of Omaha and people buy, sell, and hold the same stocks he does.
Buffett was relatively late in buying tech stocks, but he's made up for that since. The following pair of companies represent some of his biggest tech holdings. They fit neatly within his strategy, and you can also buy and hold them for the long run.
