Two of legendary investor Warren Buffett's favorite stocks when he retired from Berkshire Hathaway at the end of last year were Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) . While both stocks are in very different businesses, they share two important things in common. They are both iconic brands that are great long-term compounding businesses.
This should see both businesses thrive over time. However, how they compound their businesses is quite different, which is why I think one stock has a very distinct edge.
