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.
