Warren Buffett - Berkshire Hathaway Q3/2012 Fund Investing
Strategies By
Dividend Yield - Stock Capital, Investment
. Buy big dividend stocks is one of my favorite claims. A great
investor who followed this approach successfully is Warren Buffett.
I made a list of his best yielding stocks from his latest reported
billionaire's fund - Berkshire Hathaway. From his 38 stocks pay 28
dividends. The highest yielding stock is GlaxoSmithKline (
GSK
), a British drug company. Its dividend yield is 5.32 percent. The
top stocks are a mix of drugs, oil & gas and newspaper
businesses.
As of Q3/2012 (September 30, 2012), Warren Buffett's has 38
stocks with a total portfolio worth of USD 75.326 billion. Buffett
bought four new companies and added eight additional stocks. The
most important buy was caused by Wells Fargo and Deere. WFC was
increased by 2.8 percent. Both buys affected his portfolio only by
around 0.5 percent. His stake in General Motors was doubled as well
as the stake in National Oilwell Varco. As you can see, the average
yield of his dividend stocks is 2.44 percent - not a very high
value. It makes definitely sense to give up yield for growth and
value.
