7 Warren Buffett Stocks I Bought for My Own Portfolio
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) has one of the most closely followed stock portfolios in the world. The conglomerate owns about four dozen stocks, with a combined market value of more than $325 billion, and many of the positions were chosen by legendary investor Warren Buffett himself.
Of these stocks, there are a few that I have chosen to put my own money into. Here's what they are, and why they're my favorite "Buffett stocks" for the long term.
Markel (NYSE: MKL) is often referred to as "baby Berkshire" for the similarities in the business models of both companies. Both are insurance companies at heart but use their profits and float to invest in public and private companies. In fact, Markel has a stock portfolio, and its largest investment is Berkshire Hathaway. In short, Markel is an earlier-stage conglomerate that uses a lot of the same principles that made Berkshire such a success.
