How Does Your Portfolio Compare to Warren Buffett's?
Anyone who knows much about Warren Buffett, longtime CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B), would probably love to have a portfolio like his -- because it has performed so well. Over the 50-plus years that he has led the business, it has appreciated in value by an annual average of around 20%.
But Buffett's portfolio includes not just common stocks that you and I can buy (though presumably the quantities differ) but also lots of entire businesses. Berkshire's subsidiaries include the Benjamin Moore paint company, Dairy Queen International, GEICO insurance, Fruit of the Loom, See's Candies, Clayton Homes, the McLane trucking company, and the entire BNSF railroad. Its stock holdings include major stakes in Apple, American Express, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola.
