The first month of 2016 is in the books, and the markets didn't perform too well. If you're like me, you spent a lot of your time watching your portfolio decline in value. However, one of the secrets to successful long-term investing is that you should love when stocks drop like this, as it creates an opportunity to set yourself up with great long-term investments at a discount. With that in mind, here are three of Warren Buffett's favorite stocks that are on sale right now...
Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) has been a longtime Buffett favorite. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B) owns an 8.6% stake in the bank, which is currently worth more than $22 billion, and it's not hard to see why. International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM), or IBM is in the middle of a rather lengthy turnaround, and it appears that investors are growing impatient. Shares have lost more than 40% of their value since their 2013 highs, and got smacked down again after the company's 2016 guidance failed to impress. General Motors (NYSE:GM) has been the worst performer of the three stocks discussed here, down by 16% year-to-date as of this writing. It is also Buffett's smallest holding of the three -- Berkshire's 3% stake represents an investment of "only" $1.4 billion.
