"Our favorite holding period is forever"

~Warren Buffett

Berkshire enjoys some huge effective dividend yields.

A funny thing happens when you own dividend-paying stocks for many years: Those payouts from the companies tend to be increased over time. A company's dividend yield divides the current annual total dividend per share by the current stock price.

But if you're a dividend investor, it's worth looking at the effective dividend yield, which divides the current annual total dividend by your cost basis in the shares -- the (split-adjusted) price you paid for them.

It's the same with Berkshire's dividend-paying stock holdings. My colleague Sean Williams recently calculated that Berkshire is enjoying a 20.3% effective yield for its American Express shares, a 27.9% yield on its Moody's shares, and a whopping 54.2% yield on its Coca-Cola shares. In other words, every year, Buffett gets back 54.2% of his purchase price for his Coca-Cola stock in dividends. The great thing about fat effective dividend yields is that we can have them, too, if we buy and hold stock in wonderful, lasting businesses.

The real roots of the curse may lie in the fact that Buffett displays a legendary patience to let his investments mature and compound for years, a trait that is hard to come by in a frenetic market full of FOMO.

Ultimately, Buffett's success has not been in making a quick buck on Wall Street by hopping on the fad of the moment. His skill as an investor has been driven by his patience in buying high quality companies at appealing valuations and sitting on them for decades.

Good stocks with healthy dividends

re-invested over time with no margin.

Hold thru the downturns.

This is the basis of what we do.
