Dividend Stocks to Buy in November

My dream investment is a high-yield stock with a fast-growing dividend. But such combinations are rare. This is because most companies that pay a fat dividend have matured out of their high-growth phase and compensate investors for slower growth by distributing more of their cash as dividends. If you look hard, however, you can still find a few rare gems that offer generous yields and rising dividends.

Here are three high-yielders that have recently hiked their dividends in a big way. If any of these entice you, I should note that you should consider buying soon in order to take advantage of their higher dividend payouts in December.

1. Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Yield: 5% Dividend hike: 33%
2. Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: MPC) Yield: 3% Dividend hike: 25%
3. Macerich Co. (NYSE: MAC) Yield: 4% Dividend hike: 10%
