While Netflix , Amazon , and Nvidia have delivered spectacular returns, they lack the diversification needed for a single-stock portfolio.

A proper nest egg needs some variety, either in a carefully assembled basket of diverse stocks or focused on a broad market-tracking exchange-traded fund (ETF) For the sake of argument, I could imagine buying some Berkshire Hathaway ( NYSE : BRK.A) stock and just letting it roll.

Berkshire Hathaway has a $60.7 billion stake in Apple , a $45.1 billion position in American Express .

The company also owns stock in about 40 public companies.

Berkshire is all about diversity, shielding the company and its investors against the temporary ups and downs in any one particular industry.

It's definitely a safer long-term bet than Nvidia , Netflix or even Amazon .
