Meet the Stock Doubling Warren Buffett's Initial Investment From Dividend Income Alone Every 21 Months
Few investors command Wall Street's attention quite like the aptly dubbed "Oracle of Omaha," Warren Buffett. Since taking over as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, he's practically doubled up the annualized total return of the benchmark S 500, and generated an aggregate return of more than 5,500,000% in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A). Returns of this magnitude are going to create quite the following on Wall Street.
For decades, Buffett has been, with few exceptions, an open book. At Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meetings, he willingly shares his opinions and wisdom on the U.S. economy, the stock market, and occasionally some of Berkshire Hathaway's individual holdings. Mirroring what the Oracle of Omaha does from a trading standpoint has been a profitable investment strategy for decades.
But among the multitude of factors that have made Warren Buffett such a successful investor, the one that consistently fails to get enough credit is his love of dividend stocks. Adding income stocks to Berkshire's roughly 43-stock, $316 billion investment portfolio has been vital to the company's success.
