Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Invest In Right Now

For years, the airline industry was the butt of Warren Buffett's jokes.

In his 2007 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Buffett laid out examples of great, good and terrible businesses.

The airline industry played the part of terrible.

Here is exactly what Buffett wrote:

“Now let's move to the gruesome. The worst sort of business is one that grows rapidly, requires significant capital to engender the growth, and then earns little or no money.

Think airlines. 

Here a durable competitive advantage has proven elusive ever since the days of the Wright Brothers.  Indeed, if a farsighted capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk, he would have done his successors a huge favor by shooting Orville down.”

Keep in mind, this was not Buffett's take on one bad airline company.

This was his opinion about the entire industry. Buffett viewed airlines as a gruesome place to invest money into.

At least, that WAS his view…
