Here are eight Buffett-approved businesses built for the long haul.
Curated by The Motley Fool
There's a reason investors call Warren Buffett the ‘Oracle of Omaha’. For decades, Buffett has beaten the market with the investments he's made through his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway. Thankfully, every quarter Buffett and his colleagues at Berkshire have to disclose the company's holdings in a 13-F filing, so the average investor can see where the ‘Oracle" is putting his money. From his current investments, here are eight stocks we like because they're high-quality businesses, built for the long haul, trading at fair prices.
How did we choose these stocks?Each of these stocks is not only a large position of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, but also an active recommendation of a Motley Fool premium investing service as of 31/8/2016.

ReutersPutin approves closure of American Express Russian business
Russian President Vladimir Putin has granted American Express Co the right to "voluntary liquidate" its Russian business, according to a decree published on the official website. The future of American Express in Russia has been uncertain since March 2022, when the company suspended all operations in the country following other Western corporations in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Moscow has steadily tightened restrictions on foreign assets, with banks requiring Putin's approval for any deal.
