His approach to picking stocks may be simple to the point of being boring. Warren Buffett's results , however, speak for themselves. Given enough time, Berkshire Hathaway reliably beats the market. That's why you'd be wise to poach a few of his picks for yourself. Buying every Berkshire holding isn't a feasible option for most investors, of course. And even if it were, you wouldn't necessarily want to step into all of these names at the same time.

Well, it's official: Another company has surpassed Apple 's (NASDAQ: AAPL) market cap. Last week, Nvidia became the second-largest U.S. company, trailing only Microsoft. It was another blow to Apple, whose revenue remains stuck in neutral. And it's facing a federal antitrust lawsuit. Indeed, given Apple's struggles and the impressive growth of some of its fellow tech megacaps, several more companies will likely surpass Apple's market value over the next decade.

Stocks have continued to rally this year. While that's great for portfolio values, finding attractive new investment opportunities has become more difficult. That's especially true for income-seeking investors since dividend yields fall as stock prices rise. However, there are still some compelling income opportunities if you know where to look. For example, the average real estate investment trust (REIT) currently yields over 4%, roughly triple the S&P 500 's dividend yield.

If you want a good dividend, you can aim much higher than the 1.4% yield that the S&P 500 averages. In some cases, you can earn a lot more than the average -- without even having to take on much more risk. While high-yielding stocks sometimes have the connotation of being risky investments, that isn't always the case. Three stocks I'd feel comfortable relying on for dividend income that yield more than 6% today are AT&T (NYSE: T) , Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) , and Western Union (NYSE: WU).
