Coat Tail Trades – Najarian explains: “Warren Buffett agreed to pay $4.5 billion to buy 60% of industrial conglomerate The Marmon Group. What did Buffett find attractive in Marmon and can you ride the billionaire’s coattails?… Marmon is made up of over 125 companies, but investors can’t buy into it, explains Najarian. However, two sectors of the business are particularly attractive to me (Transportation and Water), and investors can “coat-tail it.” (In other words, can simulate Buffett’s play)”
