3 Great Stocks Yielding Over 5% Dividends

According to Bloomberg, there are currently only 11 stocks in the S&P 500 yielding over 5% in dividends; Realty Income Corp. (NYSE:O), Southern Company (NYSE:SO), CenterPoint Energy (NYSE:CNP), AT&T (NYSE:T), Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM), HCP, Inc. (NYSE:HCP), Mattel (NASDAQ:MAT), ONEOK (NYSE:OKE), CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL), Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FTR), and Noble Corporation (NYSE:NE).

In these times of record low interest rates, it is perhaps unsurprising that these stocks aren't without their issues; companies don't trade at such dividend yields unless the market is pessimistic about their prospects. But here are 3 stocks that I think the market may be judging too harshly: AT&T (NYSE:T), HCP, Inc. (NYSE:HCP) and Realty Income Corp. (NYSE:O).
