If there's an upside to a down market, it's that when stocks fall, some of them eventually get cheap enough to start to look like bargains. When those stocks also pay a dividend, the market's sour mood might even occasionally open up opportunities to buy stocks that offer both a high current yield and a value price. Such chances usually only come around when things look to be near their worst, and it often takes an experienced investor to separate out the winners from the losers.
We asked three investors who have successfully navigated bear markets before to come up with high-yield stocks that look like they might be legitimate bargains today. They picked International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) , Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) , and Broadmark Realty Capital (NYSE: BRMK) . Read on to find out why and decide for yourself whether the market's movements have made these the proverbial babies the market has thrown out with the bathwater.
