Wonderful companies I would love to own, if the price were right

[valuefinder0525]

If you were to choose three companies to invest in for the next ten years. (After you invest in them you will be transported to another planet with no connection to this world for the next ten years) What would they be?

MKL

1.  Philip Morris International - Moat is absolutely incredible

2.  Fairfax Financial - Strong management committed to creating shareholder value over the long term and turning into a mini Berkshire

3.  Berkshire Hathaway - Enough said

I would choose companies that create addictions in people that mostly twelve step groups can solve:

 

1.) Coke( sugar addiction)

2.) Boston Beer ( classic)

3.) Airbnb ( escapism, fomo ( fear of missing out), creates novelty addiction, sex addiction ( living in international countries on short term basis to pick up foreign women)

For some reason topic title is very different from question inside the thread.

So I'll answer both:

 

3 companies at current prices:

1. BRK

2. FFH

3. BAM

 

3 companies for 10 years at "right prices" - this is rather meaningless, since right price for me might be $1 for GOOGL... but:

 

1. V

2. TDG

3. GOOGL

Only 10 years right? At today's prices:

 

1. Altius Minerals

2. Pardee Resources

3. National Oilwell Varco / Spectra Energy Corp.

For 10yrs without any trading or price information? Tough question..

 

At today's prices, I'd go with:

JNJ

Apple

PayPal

 

If the price was right (materially lower than today):

Amazon

Google

 

I don't think in 'irrespective-of-price' kinda-terms. So I'm sorry if I'm not answering your question exactly like you want. I'll buy anything at the right price.

My list would also be Amazon, Google, and Apple.  Apple is the only one where the price is right, so I'm buying.

Today's prices: Probably BRK, JNJ, USLM. I'd return not expecting to have made a lot but unlikely to have lost my shirt due to business value erosion.

 

I like the Lindt response--love the product but don't know the company well.

 

If price were right: BF-B, VRSK, GOOG

 

I'd say TDG except if technology exists to transport me deep in to space, not sure how relevant TDG's products would be. Musk and/or Bezos would probably be involved in the space transport somehow. Tell me what sort of fuel/technology is involved in the interstellar travel and I might change my answers.

MHFI (or MCO)

1. Novo Nordisk;

2. Philip Morris;

3. CCL Industries.

 

I own what I like; if I didn't like holding it for ten years, I wouldn't own it now.

coffee can portfolio:

 

BRK, GOOG, BAM, WFC, LBTYK

[Spekulatius]

Typically, when the price is right for me to buy, these wonderful companies don't seem to be that wonderful any more.

LBTYA

+1. The question is close to meaningless. Value is what you get, and price is what you pay.

[Bog]

I'm close to Jurgis here....

 

1) Fairfax

2) Berkshire

3) Brookfield Infrastructure
