Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors of all time. He explained in 2006 that one of the best ways of staying wealthy is investing in high dividend stocks with stable businesses, like utilities. We believe buying the highest dividend stocks of Buffett?s portfolio is a good idea because they are the stable ones and delivering good income.
Buffett has been holding on to his positions for years if not decades to minimize taxes. We recommend investors follow a similar strategy in order to protect their investments and grow their portfolio at modest rates. This is a better alternative to investing in long-term government bonds which yield around 2%.
Here are Warren Buffett?s highest dividend stock picks. All stocks in this list have dividend yield of above 3.4%.?See complete list of Buffett?s holdings here. We obtained market data from Finviz and Morningstar, and hedge fund holdings from Insider Monkey.
