From Quora, the OP asked the following question:
What are the best stocks of all time?
Some of the top answers were:
MSFT and AAPL. MSFT grew 50,000% during the 1990s. Although Apple has substantially grown in the past 7 years, it is yet to catch up with Microsoft when you take the returns from their respective starting points ;-).Look at the overall market in the meantime (red line).
My vote would also go to Berkshire Hathaway, which has returned an average of 20.3% per year for the last 44 years.A modest $10K investment 44 years ago would be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $34 million today.
Coca Cola.The company went public in 1919 at $40 a share.
Anybody who bought one share at the time... and continuously reinvested dividends would today have shares worth over $5 million (and earning a dividend of over $150K per year)....
Besides, this extraordinary return of 14% compounded for nearly a century, Coca Cola has some other things going for it, which ensure that it will continue to do well in the future:
