Top Warren Buffett Companies To Invest In Right Now

No one makes the right decisions every time or even every year. Not even the best of the fund managers like Bill Miller, the brilliant manager of Legg Mason Value Trust, who outperformed  the S&P for 15 straight years, but lagged well behind last year. Even Warren Buffett, probably the smartest investor of our time, could have pocketed billions by selling Coca-Cola when it was in the 80s and instead rode it down to the 40s.

After  35 years of making good and bad decisions, setting goals and then abandoning them, buying good-quality stocks but also chasing performance, almost giving up after two  grinding bear markets at the end of the road I��e realized  that the  best investment advise will at best be boring .

Lesson 1: Diversify. Buying just a few shares of four stocks cost more in commissions than had I put all my money in one stock. But had I bought just one, it might well have been the wrong one. As it turned out, five years later, one of those stocks had gained just 9% while another one had nearly doubled.
