Top Warren Buffett Stocks To Own Right Now

I thought I would address the most obvious question you might have about the headline of this article first. What do I mean by forever? To be honest, I don’t think there’s any stock I would simply buy and never look at again. However, as Warren Buffett noted in the 1988 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter, “When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever.”

Some have interpreted this to mean that Buffett would neversell stocks, but that simply isn’t the case. He has since clarified his famous statement, saying that he will sell stocks under certain conditions including “if we needed money for something else,” or “we don’t think their competitive advantage is as strong as we thought it was when we initially made the decision.”


Still, there are some companies that are leaders in their respective industries and have so much going for them that holding for the ultra-long term seems reasonable. That’s why I plan to hold Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) for a very long time, perhaps “forever.”

    There are several parts of the value chain that create natural and organic goods:


    Individual organic farmers, who you largely cannot invest in. Producers of organic foods, who take farmer’s goods and combine them for consumption. This includes players likeHain Celestial (NASDAQ:HAIN),SunOpta, andLifeway Foods. Grocers with a focus on natural and organic goods, which originally includedWhole Foods (now owned by Amazon),Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM), andNatural Grocers — what I refer to as “pure-play,” which are grocers with a sole focus on organic. But the list now includes big names likeKroger(NYSE:KR),Costco(NASDAQ:COST), andWalmart(NYSE:WMT). Distributors specializing in natural and organic food, primarilyUnited Natural Foods.


    When the Great Recession hit, many of these pure-play natural and organic companies (read: not Costco, Walmart, or Kroger) were devastated. Consumers were pinching pennies and unwilling to pay the extra money for organic fruits.

    The membership model is not a new concept, but it’s one that has been dramatically underutilized by retail. The low-price warehouseCostco (NASDAQ:COST), for example, has been crushing the market’s returns for 30-plus years with its simple membership club formula. And if you need more evidence of Costco’s merits, Warren Buffett’s investing sidekick Charlie Munger has called it “one of the most admirable capitalistic institutions in the world.”

    That is only some of its problems, which are topped by the fact that too many things Lowe’s sells can be bought elsewhere, from Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) to Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST), but predominantly Home Depot. Lowe’s has no path to differentiation. That leaves what it charges customers as the key to its success. Cutting prices is usually not a winning strategy for a public company, though.
