Hey everyone! Just read this interesting piece on Motley Fool—Buffett’s long‑term picks:
Amazon (AMZN) – The e‑commerce giant remains Berkshire’s #1 bet, with booming cloud AI tech and powerful global delivery infrastructure
Visa (V) – A top financial-services play, Visa is slated for steady growth as transactions worldwide shift digital—Berkshire holds a small but meaningful stake .
Both are considered Buffett-approved “buy‑and‑hold‑forever” stocks with strong moats and long-term potential.
While most people still associate Amazon with just shopping, it’s AWS—their cloud arm—that’s driving real profits and innovation.
With the rise of GenAI and AI-first enterprise tools, AWS is quietly becoming the plumbing for the digital economy.
Plus, Amazon’s logistics infrastructure is now so advanced, it’s eating into FedEx and UPS turf.
If we’re thinking in 10–15 year horizons, AMZN feels like today’s equivalent of “buying Microsoft in the 90s.”
It might not triple overnight, but it’s a solid bet for compounding quietly in the background.
Visa, while strong, does face risk from new fintech rails (like UPI in India or DeFi globally). But yes, the moat is still wide, especially in markets where cash is still dominant and digital adoption is rising.
