The Kinds of Businesses Warren Buffett Avoids

Warren Buffett doesn't like businesses that are price-competitive. These businesses are easy to spot because they usually sell a product of service whose price is the single most important motivating factor int he consumer's decision to buy. Here's a list of some of those businesses:

  • Internet portal companies

  • Internet service providers

  • Memory-chip manufacturers

  • Airlines

  • Producers of raw foodstuffs such as corn and rice

  • Steel producers

  • Gas and oil companies

  • The lumber industry

  • Paper manufacturers

  • Automobile manufacturers
