One of the most famous investors ever, Warren Buffett has earned his place in stock market history, but if he was to glance across the pond to the UK's market, what would he be buying today? In this week's Shares we reveal the stock selection mechanisms he might apply, explain why he's so enraptured by insurance, and pick 5 stocks that would pass a Buffett test. Also, we use the recent Tesco/Unilever dust-up to explain why pricing power is so important to investors, ponder if an 11% dividend yield is too good to be true, and flag an investment pick as energy bills start to rise. Plus there's our best investment ideas, fascinating market stats and facts, and we put fund fees under the Shares microscope.
