Top 5 Warren Buffett Companies To Buy Right Now

I recently read Robert Hagstrom's "Investing: The Last Liberal Art", a tome that has some fascinating insights for any investor.�The book is full of wisdom from Charlie Munger, longtime investing partner and confidant of Warren Buffett. Munger believes great investors are great thinkers, and great thinking involves the ability to recognize and apply metaphors.

For those readers who are not English majors, a metaphor is a linguistic concept used to compare seemingly unrelated objects or concepts. But more important than the definition is the thought process behind metaphors, the ability to make connections in the real world. It might seem strange to think that Shakespeare's "summer's day" has any relation to investment performance, but the rewards of metaphorical thinking become clear in the context of sustainable competitive advantages.
