I own roughly 30 stocks in my personal portfolio, but there are some I bought because I think they’re currently undervalued — not necessarily because I think I’ll hold them forever.
On the other hand, there are a few stocks in my portfolio that I could see myself holding throughout the rest of my career, throughout my retirement, and eventually passing on to my children. I’m not even 40 yet, so that’s quite a long time horizon. And while I’m not necessarily committing to holding these stocks forever, here’s why Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B), Public Storage (NYSE:PSA), and AT&T (NYSE:T) could be core components of my portfolio for decades to come.

I’m happy to let the greatest investor of all time take the reins with my money
Berkshire Hathaway was one of the first stocks I ever bought in my retirement account and it remains a staple of my portfolio today. The Warren Buffett-led conglomerate owns a collection of more than 60 subsidiary businesses and also has a huge stock portfolio with major investments in companies like Apple, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, and more. In fact, because of the diverse nature of Berkshire’s business, I’ve said that if I could only own one stock, that would be it.
