Apple May Be Warren Buffett's Best Business, but It's Not His Favorite Stock to Buy -- This Is

Although Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) isn't much of a household name, its CEO, billionaire Warren Buffett, certainly is. Since taking the reins at Berkshire Hathaway in the mid-1960s, the Oracle of Omaha has doubled up the annualized total return, including dividends paid, of the S&P 500 (19.8% versus 9.9%). This substantial long-term outperformance is what coerces more than 30,000 investors and shareholders to trek to Omaha, Nebraska, every year to listen to Warren Buffett speak.
