Top Warren Buffett Stocks with Good Dividend Yields

Warren Buffett is one of the most admired investors in the world. In fact, investors' confidence in his stock-picking abilities practically knows no bounds, and many flock to his annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meetings in Nebraska to experience Buffett in person. Buffett has made a name for himself as a patient investor with a long-term investment horizon, who doesn't care about the erratic fluctuations of Mr. Market. He is more than willing to sit things out when times are getting tough. And Buffett has repeatedly argued that he would be more than comfortable if the stock market shut down for 10 years or so. And why?

Companies that pay a decent dividend over time have huge value for investors during times of market volatility when capital appreciation is much less certain. Consequently, stocks that have Buffett's approval, and that provide a solid dividend yield, are of great interest to investors who want to emulate the Oracle of Omaha's success. And here are two stocks Buffett likes which offer a solid dividend: Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM).
