"Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years," Warren Buffett has famously said. Easier said than done, but it's an aim to strive for -- especially for dividend investors who are counting on dividend stocks to provide them with reliable income for years to come.
On that note, here are two stock ideas that might fit the mold: Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) - With a dividend yield of just 1.32%, Starbucks isn't typically referred to as a dividend stock. But investors with a long time horizon who buy Starbucks at today's price may lock in a substantial yield for the future. IBM (NYSE: IBM) - Yes, Warren Buffett has said that tech companies are risky bets. But he made an exception to this rule when it came to IBM, Berkshire Hathaway's third-largest equity holding.
