Who’s a smarter investor, Warren Buffet or me?

Admittedly, the evidence favors the Oracle from Omaha. So here’s a link to a story featuring the top dividend paying stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio.

None of these stocks are in my portfolio. If were adding names to my list today, I think Sirius would be my top choice. I have plenty of research to do before I tank the plunge on Sirius. After all, a dividend yield as high as it pays usually comes with some risk. The market likely sees headwinds ahead for the company or limited growth prospects. Ally Financial is another of Buffet’s holdings that I plan to look into.

But if Buffet liked a company well enough to buy its stock and hold it over the long haul, it’s hard to say it isn’t worth considering for income oriented investors.
