Warren Buffett has been one of the most closely watched investors in the last half-century. The “Oracle of Omaha" as he is referred to is known for having a simple, but highly effective investing strategy.
One of the core tenets of that philosophy is Buffett's discipline to take long-term positions in stocks. For investors that long-term focus allows them to tune out the noise that comes from the market's short-term volatility.
However, while Buffett is known for taking long-term positions, it doesn't mean that he doesn't buy and sell parts of his positions. Buffett makes his trades via Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B). In fact, investors see stocks being bought and sold by Berkshire as being a leading economic indicator.
In this special presentation, we're looking at seven stocks in Warren Buffett's portfolio. A common theme with each of these stocks is that they've been part of Buffett's holdings for many years and will likely continue long after Buffett, who is in his 90s, is no longer with us.
