Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time. His Berkshire Hathaway portfolio is a valuable snapshot of the equities he believes are destined for long-term success.

The stock market sold off rapidly over the past few weeks, leading many to label this a stock market crash brought on by President Donald Trump's tariff announcements.

Amazon-backed More Retail, a key player in India's food and staples market, plans to go public next year and double its store count in five as shoppers keep turning to supermarkets and online buying for daily groceries, a top executive told Reuters.
