Not Secure Enough for You?

If these companies aren’t secure enough for you then I’d have to recommend Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK.B). Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett have made a lot of money by investing in companies over the long haul. The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) and The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) are two of the companies that Buffett has made most of his money on over the years.

You won’t earn a dividend owning this company, but you will know that your money is secure. Taking down this company would require a complete financial collapse, so there’s nothing to worry about; your money won’t be any good anywhere anyway.

Investor Takeaway

I’m obviously a big fan of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK.B); I always have been. People may try to come up with reasons as to why it’s a bad investment, but all I can see is an incredibly diverse and growing company with lots of cash.

The other three companies presented also make heaps of cash, and they’re investing it wisely.

Bottom line is you can’t go wrong buying any of these companies. If you buy one of the first three, make sure you set up that DRIP with your broker. You’ll extract all the gains that you can out of these companies with a DRIP in place.
