"Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years," Warren Buffett has famously said. Easier said than done, but it's an aim to strive for -- especially for dividend investors who are counting on dividend stocks to provide them with reliable income for years to come. On that note, here are two stock ideas that might fit the mold.
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX )
With a dividend yield of just 1.32%, Starbucks isn't typically referred to as a dividend stock. But investors with a long time horizon who buy Starbucks at today's price may lock in a substantial yield for the future.
Currently, Starbucks pays out just 42% of earnings in dividends, leaving plenty of breathing room for dividend growth in the future. In fact, Starbucks has already made a habit of increasing its dividend every year since it announced its first dividend in 2010.

While it's not obvious from the chart, you can separate these institutions into three different buckets. The first bucket concerns the most widely discussed too-big-to-fail banks: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. Then comes the unofficial too-big-to-fail lenders (those with assets in excess of $50 billion and thus subject to the Federal Reserve's more stringent stress test process). This group contains U.S. Bank (NYSE: USB ) , PNC Financial (NYSE: PNC ) , and BB&T Bank (NYSE: BBT ) , among others. And the final group encompasses lesser-known banks like First Niagara Financial (NASDAQ: FNFG ) and People's United Financial (NASDAQ: PBCT ) with between $20 billion and $50 billion in assets.
