Invest Alongside Warren Buffett in These Black Friday Stocks

If you're interested in buying top stocks that benefit from consumer spending over the holidays, you might want to follow in Warren Buffett's footsteps. Buffett is famous for picking stock market winners, and his investments in Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF), and Visa (NYSE: V) put him in a position to profit handsomely from the holiday shopping season. Are these stocks smart buys for your portfolio?

Warren Buffett captured headlines when he significantly reduced Berkshire Hathaway's exposure to Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) this past year, but he seems to be a happy Costco Wholesale shareholder. He's a longtime owner (his business partner, Charlie Munger, sits on Costco Wholesale's board of directors) and as of September, Berkshire Hathaway owned 4.3 million shares of Costco worth roughly $750 million.
