Three Stocks Recommended by Buffett
- Amazon Investment: Berkshire Hathaway holds 10 million shares of Amazon, valued at approximately $2.4 billion, representing only 0.1% of its portfolio; however, with over 200 million Prime members and $530 billion in sales, the company shows strong market potential, likely maintaining a 10% growth rate into 2025.
