Do you like bargain stocks? You're in good company if you do. Legendary stock-picker Warren Buffett likes them too.

That's why you'd be wise to poach some of his picks for yourself. With that as the backdrop, here's a closer look at one of his favorite holdings you can step into right now at a great price: The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO).
