How can you invest along the same principles as Warren Buffett? James Altucher, managing director of Formula Capital, shared his insights.

“Buffett is making a good long-term bet on the health care industry with the aging baby boomers,” said Altucher. “This is similar to the long-term bet he started making 3 years ago when he started buying shares of [Burlington Northern] [BNI
