Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A)(NYSE:BRK-B) CEO Warren Buffett is arguably the greatest investor of our generation. Sporting seed capital totaling $10,000 in the mid-1950s, Buffett has invested his way into a $79 billion net worth as of today.
Yet, what's most interesting about Buffett's investing style is that it doesn't involve any fancy charting technology or quantitative analysis. Rather, the Oracle of Omaha chooses to focus his research on a couple of sectors -- financials, information technology, and consumer staples -- then purchases companies he believes have competitive advantages over the long run. Buffett and his team then hang on for a long period of time and reap the rewards. With Berkshire Hathaway's book value gaining 1,091,899% between 1965 and 2018, it's pretty evident that Buffett knows what he's doing.
