7 Sinful Stocks Buffett Would Love

There are two certainties in life: death and taxes. But, there's another that gets 99% of the way there: Humans will always have vices. They will pay to maintain those vices in good times and bad and that makes companies that feed on human vices potentially great investments.

We went through the top 25 holdings of the VICEX mutual fund and picked 7 sinful stocks that should prove the test of time. These are stocks that have enjoyed large net and gross margins over the past 10 years and fit into the typical Buffett-style investment. These are also stocks that are looked upon favourably by the Motley Fool CAPS Community and Wall Street in general.
