In the last article, we examined the main mistakes of novice investors, and today let's find out what is in the investment portfolio of professionals in their field who have devoted more than a dozen years to the stock market
Traditionally, let's start with acclaimed market guru Warren Buffett, who is chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, a public holding company that operates a wide range of businesses. 43.6% of its portfolio is accounted for by shares of Apple Inc., 11.34% is held by Bank of America Corporation and The Coca-Cola Company closes the top three with 8.12% of the portfolio. Despite the worldwide recognized authority, it is still inferior to the market in terms of profitability, so we will consider other well-known investors.

Studying the investment portfolios of world-famous investors, it is impossible to ignore business representatives. Bill Gates, an American entrepreneur and one of the founders of Microsoft, also has his own investment portfolio. He, like all successful businessmen, tries to invest in stocks. 45% of his portfolio is held by shares in the aforementioned Berkshire Hathaway, run by Warren Buffett, 9.55% is in Waste Management, Inc., which provides environmental waste management services to residential, commercial, industrial and municipal clients in North America through its subsidiaries. … The Canadian National Railway Company holds 8.26% of the portfolio. The Canadian National Railroad Company, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the railroad business and related transportation.
As you can see, each of the famous investors has his own approach to the formation of an investment portfolio, but all of them, regardless of their type of activity, continuously invest in their future and the future of their children. Now it has become much easier to open a brokerage account and each of us can take the first step towards financial independence. Many people postpone investments for later, explaining their actions by the fact that now there is no opportunity, but I recommend taking the first step as soon as possible, even if it will be only one thousand rubles.
