In matters of finance and investing almost everything is up for debate, but a few important facts are beyond discussion. Most people agree that Warren Buffett knows a thing or two about picking winning investments, and high-quality dividend stocks have proven their ability to deliver superior returns over the long term. Combining these two simple and powerful concepts, it makes sense to go through Buffett's portfolio in search of the best dividend stocks to buy in 2014.
Buffett is a big fan of Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), both the drink and the business. Competitive strengths, or moats in Buffett's terminology, are at the center of his investing philosophy, and Coca-Cola benefits from truly spectacular competitive strengths. Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) is facing considerable challenges lately. The retail industry is particularly weak in the current economic environment, and competition from both online retailers such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) and mass merchants such as Costco is putting a lot of pressure on Wal-Mart. In this context, Wal-Mart has reported stagnant or even declining comparable-store sales over the last several months.
