It's August, and you're still searching for the best dividend stocks of 2014. You might even feel bad that you've been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the right time to invest. It's fine. Really. After all, it's never too late to start looking for great stocks that you can buy and hold for years to come. So let's take a closer look at a few fantastic companies that pay nice dividends, have track records of increasing payouts, and, most importantly, are well-positioned to reward investors for many years to come.
Two Warren Buffett all-stars - Wells Fargo Bank (NYSE: WFC) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) are two of the Oracle of Omaha's favorites. Respectively, they are the biggest and third-biggest holdings of Buffett's conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway, and together, they account for one-third of Berkshire's portfolio. If you're looking for maximum yield today, these may not be the best stocks for you. But if you're looking for investments to hold for the long term and the dividend is part of your income strategy years down the road, then all three of these companies deserve a closer look.
