If you want to identify companies that can provide the foundation for an investment portfolio, a great place to start is by looking at the selections of Warren Buffett. Buffett is arguably one of the most knowledgeable and savvy investors of all time. Two of the holdings in his Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) portfolio are companies in very different businesses, but each with the potential to provide investors big gains for years to come.
Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) may not be a flashier, larger Buffett holding like Apple, with innovative devices that our daily lives depend on; but what it does have to its credit is that of being the fourth largest in value ($21 billion) and longest-held stock in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio -- dating back to 1988. Sometimes finding investment ideas isn't as easy as identifying iconic brands with excellent track records. DaVita (NYSE:DVA) is a name lesser known to the general public than Coca-Cola, but it provides critical services to patients suffering from kidney disease -- a market projected to grow at a 4.7% compound annual growth rate through 2028.
