b'Bestselling authors Mary Buffett and David Clark examine seventeen companies that Warren Buffett has bought for himself and for his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, as durable investments and explain why these companies are once again selling at prices that offer great long-term growth prospects.\\n\\nWarren Buffett has always believed that the time to buy stocks is when nobody else wants them. Even some of the most amazing businesses\\u2014those with a durable competitive advantage\\u2014are trading at prices and price-to-earnings ratios that offer investors serious long-term moneymaking opportunities.
