Top 5 Warren Buffett Companies To Invest In 2014

Nati Harnik/APBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett If Republicans and President Barack Obama were to fail to reach an agreement to raise the nation's borrowing authority, that would be "pretty damn dumb," said billionaire investor Warren Buffett in a taped interview that aired on CNBC on Friday. In addition to the upcoming October or early November deadline on the debt ceiling, the prospects of a government shutdown next month also loom. But Buffett, while critical of this type of partisan bickering, told CNBC, "the market is not gonna fall apart, because [investors] expect Washington will only act irrationally for a certain length of time." Republicans are looking at the debt limit issue and the waning government funding as leverage to push deficit-reduction plans. The GOP-controlled House is pushing through a stop-gap federal funding bill to avoid a shutdown, but it includes measures to gut the president's health-care law.

MNGA did surge then, however, so what we've seen unfurl over the past few days can't be ignored now... as it suggests this small hydrogen supplier stock is about to take flight in a more controlled and longer-lasting way than it did at the beginning of the year.

  The Xerox (XRX) brand bias

  What is the first image that comes to your mind when I say "Xerox?" I tried to do this exercise with my friends and colleagues. The answers were different, but all boiled down to photocopiers and printers.
