Warren Buffett's portfolio is filled with strong businesses that have proven themselves over time. Some actually pay shareholders just for owning them -- like dividend stocks. At the helm of Berkshire Hathaway , Buffett has driven a compounded annual gain of more than 19% over 57 years. That's thanks to his careful selection of stocks to buy and hold.
If you're looking for stocks likely to perform well over time, it's a smart idea to turn to Buffett for inspiration. Here are two that make great additions to a portfolio right now: beverage-giant Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and healthcare-heavyweight McKesson (NYSE: MCK) . Let's take a closer look at each.
Buffett bought shares of Coca-Cola over a seven-year period in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Berkshire Hathaway snapped up 400 million shares of the company -- and has held on ever since.
