Dividend Stocks that are Suddenly Bargains

Bear markets aren’t a lot of fun to live through. In fact, I’m actually losing a little sleep over the current one. For whatever reason, this bear market just feels nastier than some of the others I’ve been through. But the nice aspect of a bear market is that dividend stocks you might normally have considered too expensive to buy suddenly look like a bargain. If you’re brave enough, you can buy your favorite dividend stocks at bargain basement prices and effectively “lock in” very solid dividend yields.

I have to write “lock in” in quotation marks, of course, as there is really no such thing as a guaranteed dividend. Dividends can get cut in a hurry, and an exceptionally high yield is often a prelude to exactly that. So, common sense rules apply here. We’re looking for quality companies that are suddenly a bargain, not cheap garbage that gets cheaper. So, with no more ado, let’s take a look at seven dividend stocks that have gone on sale of late. I would consider all of them viable options for a diversified dividend portfolio: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) and StoneMor Partners L.P. (NYSE:STON).
