Love Dividends? Here Are 3 Stocks You Might Want to Buy

In today's market it can be hard to find stocks offering up notable yields -- but if you dig a little they're still there. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MMP), International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM), and Southern Company (NYSE: SO) are three stocks you might want to buy, and each is yielding more than twice the market's roughly 2% average.

First up is Magellan Midstream Partners and its roughly 5% distribution yield. The partnership owns oil and natural gas midstream assets, essentially helping to get energy from where it is drilled to where it gets processed and used. The vast majority of Magellan's business is fee based, so demand for oil and gas is more important than the price of either fuel.
