RE - Warren Buffett Only Wishes He Could Buy This Stock
Admittedly, riding Warren Buffett's stock-picking coattails is a pretty sound strategy. While Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) doesn't outperform the S&P 500 every single year, under his direction, the fund consistently outperforms investors' favorite benchmark more often than not, and by quite a bit. You'd do well to borrow some of Buffett's ideas.
The thing is, you don't have to limit yourself to just holdings found in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. There are plenty of low-cost, reliable, dividend-paying names the Oracle of Omaha would arguably like to own, but simply can't due to logistical and regulatory reasons; smaller companies, in particular, are tough for Buffett to step into.
One such name worth your consideration is the insurance outfit Everest Re Group (NYSE: RE) .
