Buffett's Dividend Yield on Cost for These 4 Stocks Is Incredibly High

Whether you're a novice investor or have seen your fair share of stock market shakeouts, the past seven weeks have been a unique experience. The physical and financial toll created by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have pushed the stock market to its fastest bear market in history. It took a mere 17 trading sessions for all three major indexes to rack up losses of at least 20% from their recent closing highs.

In the process, many investors have seen a notable portion of their portfolio value "disappear." Of course, these paper losses likely pale in comparison to those of Warren Buffett. Through this past weekend, the Oracle of Omaha's portfolio at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) had declined in value by close to $90 billion since the mid-February COVID-19 stock market crash began.
