In a funny and timely bit of analysis, a stock reporter at CNBC pointed out that billionaire investing icon Warren Buffett could buy every NFL team.
After all, he has $92.1 billion. The combined value of every franchise comes to $80.7 billion. He could write the check and still easily be in the fraction-of-the-1% club of richest Americans.
Buffett is a big fan of all kinds of sports, even more so than the guys who got rich on stocks and have no problem dropping money on sports-team ownership �� Paul Allen (Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers), Steve Ballmer (L.A. Clippers), and Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks), to name a few.

Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch For 2019: Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(PCRX)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Jon C. Ogg]
Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCRX) has found itself in the middle of a great opportunity but not being able to make the last mile of the race. Unfortunately, pain management in a non-opioid treatment has become an elusive target. And it’s too bad when you consider how many people have become addicted to opioids in America.
- [By Logan Wallace]
Pacira Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:PCRX) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a sell rating. According to Zacks, “Pacira’s top line mainly comprises contribution from its marketed product. The company is heavily dependent on Exparel for growth, which accounts for a significant chunk of its revenues. This is a concern for the company. Exparel also competes with well-established products for postsurgical pain management. However, the company is making efforts to expand Exparel's label. In April 2018, the FDA approved Pacira’s sNDA seeking expansion of the Exparel label to include administration via nerve block for prolonged regional analgesia.”

Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch For 2019: Werner Enterprises, Inc.(WERN)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Max Byerly]
Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ: WERN) and Universal Logistics (NASDAQ:ULH) are both transportation companies, but which is the better investment? We will compare the two businesses based on the strength of their institutional ownership, profitability, analyst recommendations, dividends, valuation, earnings and risk.

This could mean that the company has relatively more to gain from autonomous trucking since highway driving is a larger portion of total drive time.
