Warren Buffett Can't Buy This Stock, But You Can
Warren Buffett deserves all the fame and respect he's been given as chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway. While the mighty conglomerate's investment portfolio may not outperform the S&P 500 every single year, it beats the broad market more often than not. Outside of owning a stake in Berkshire itself, "borrowing" a few of Buffett's picks has usually been a savvy investment strategy.
Did you know, however, that there are some great small stocks the Oracle of Omaha might like Berkshire Hathaway to buy that it simply can't? It's true. Either the fund is legally limited in terms of the size of the stake it can take in a particular company, or it's practically limited from doing so because that stake would be too small to matter.
But there's nothing stopping everyday investors from buying shares of a smaller business that value-minded and dividend-loving Buffett would otherwise approve of. With this in mind, if you're on the hunt for a quality stock that's too small for Buffett, you may want to take a good long look at property and casualty insurance outfit Safety Insurance Group (NASDAQ: SAFT).
