Top 10 Warren Buffett Companies To Buy For 2014

Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger are the two investment heads of Berkshire Hathaway. If they decide to put money into a business, they usually have a good nose for their investment, which will pay off.

With a long-term annual return wide above 20 percent, they definitely have done most things right.

Today I would like to present you the best dividend stocks from the GuruFocus Buffett-Munger screener. The tool searches the market for good companies at fair or even undervalued prices. The screener take only stocks with a high predicable business into account.

These are some of the criteria:


- Rising margin.
- Growing business.
- Little debt.
- Fair or undervalued.

The Buffett-Munger screener gives you over 200 results, but I like to focus on the U.S. stock market.

From 77 American stocks, only 15 shares pay dividends. Buffett and Munger would definitely love some of these results.
