3 Hated Dividend Stocks to Buy Now

There are two ways a stock's dividend yield can rise. The company can raise its dividend, or the stock can tumble. International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM), General Motors (NYSE: GM), and Target (NYSE: TGT) have been punished this year, but the market's pessimism seems to have gotten out of hand in each case.

All three of these hated stocks offer exceptional dividend yields, along with substantial dividend safety. If you're a dividend investor looking for yield and value in an expensive market, look no further.
