I consider myself blessed... As an Investing Analyst at The Motley Fool, every day I wake up and get the chance to live my lifelong dream — help everyday investors like you identify and profit from the world's most promising investment opportunities. It's hard to believe, but 2021 marked the 28-year anniversary of the founding of The Motley Fool! Of course, there have been more than a few changes around here during that time. Like the fact that we've gone from publishing an investment newsletter for 300 or so subscribers out of the shed behind our founders' house... To serving millions of hardworking investors like you around the globe from offices in countries as far-flung as Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan. It's been a heck of a run — but what I'm most proud of is our ability to consistently lead investors like you to some of the most life-changing investment returns the market has ever seen. I'm talking, of course, about companies like: Amazon - up 22,618% since we recommended on 9/6/2002 Netflix - up 31,747% since we recommended it on 12/17/2004 Nvidia - up 13,874% since we recommended it on 4/15/2005 Booking Holdings - up 9,619% since we recommended it on 5/21/2004 Shopify - up 4,709% since we recommended it on 7/15/2016 These are actual investment recommendations we have shared with The Motley Fool community over the years – and the list goes on and on! But I'm not here to take a victory lap or make you feel bad if you missed out on any of these huge gains... Instead, I'm writing you today to talk about something I believe could change the way you invest forever. More specifically, I’ve stumbled upon an under-the-radar stock I believe could be one of the greatest discoveries of my time as a professional investor. This company is so incredible that it actually reminds me of Berkshire Hathaway – Warren Buffett’s company that grew from being a tiny microcap stock into a massive $550 billion behemoth over the past 50 years. In fact, anyone who got in early on Buffett’s company and held on turned a mere $1,000 into more than $16 million! Think about that for a moment... What would you do with $16 million? You’d finally arrive at the place you’ve dreamed of… whether that means a new house, more travel, or an early and fun retirement. If you’re like many hardworking Americans I’ve met over the years, you don’t want to miss out if another opportunity like that comes along. With that in mind… what if we could find the next Berkshire Hathaway… a company with the same smart leadership that uses Buffett’s disciplined, commonsense approach of leveraging the insurance business to buy other stocks, bonds, and entire companies? A company with a knack for finding winners in “obvious” places that most people miss? Well, I believe we have found a practically perfect “mini-Berkshire.” And I’m so confident in this company that we’ve already recommended it three times to members of The Motley Fool investing service… and that’s something that just doesn’t happen very often. And here’s why I believe this stock is so attractive today… While Berkshire is now probably too big to achieve the massive gains it saw in the past, this new company is not: It’s only 1/30th the size of Berkshire... and therefore I believe has much more growth potential. What's more, this mini-Berkshire’s CEO is a charismatic investor and a proven winner: Since the business started 30 years ago, his company's stock has risen more than 13,000%! But I must again state the electrifying part of all this: They’re still tiny compared to Berkshire.
