It doesn't matter if you are retired and want dividends regularly or if you are currently employed and just want to supplement your monthly income. Monthly dividend stock may be just what you are looking for. Though these investments are often referred to as stocks, they are technically closed end bond funds, real estate investment trusts, oil income trusts, and closed end income stock funds that pay dividends monthly.
The advantage of monthly dividend investments include faster return your capital, and if the dividends are reinvested, can generate greater compounding than quarterly payments. In addition, the monthly payments can help reduce volatility. These monthly dividend investments are available at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, which has a list of over 100 different companies that pay dividends monthly, many of which have high yields in excess of 7%.
One example is the New America High Income Fund (HYB), which pays a generous yield of 7.4%, with dividends generated monthly. The stock has been trading at around its net asset value, and charges a management fee of 0.85%. The fund was founded in 1987 and is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates.
Do you think real estate has bottomed out? Check out LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (RIT) which is an exchange traded fund that invests in real estate related companies including real estate investment trusts. It carries a yield of 5.5%, and has paid dividends since 2002. It is trading at a discount to net asset value. The management fee is on the high side at 1.2%
Gas Natural Inc. (EGAS) distributes natural gas in Montana, Wyoming, North Carolina, and Maine. It was founded in 1909. The stock pays a yield of 5.8% and sports a forward price to earnings ratio of 13.9.
Pengrowth Energy Trust (PGH) is a Canadian oil royalty income trust that pays a very high yield of 9.2%. The company, which was founded in 1988, explores, develops, and produces oil and natural gas reserves in western Canada.
When deciding which monthly dividend investments to put money into, investors should avoid investments with high management fees, limited liquidity, ones that trade at a large premium to net asset value, and the ones using excessive leverage. The municipal bond closed end funds may trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax; check with your accountant before investing.
A list of over a hundred monthly dividend stocks, including over 50 with yields of 6% or more, is available at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Keep in mind that very high yields may not be sustainable.

The Advantage of Monthly Dividends Over Quarterly Dividends
There are several advantages to receiving monthly dividends over quarterly dividends:
1. compounding takes place quicker
2. the invested capital is returned faster
3. there is usually less price volatility of the investment
4. many of monthly dividend investments pay dividends that are tax free.
According to the database list at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are about a couple hundred different companies that pay dividends monthly, many of which have fairly high yields. Although these investments are often referred to as stocks, that term is used loosely. These investments are real estate investment trusts, oil income trusts, closed end bond funds, and closed end income stock funds, which pay dividends every month.
An example is Gas Natural Inc. (EGAS), formerly known as Energy, Inc., It is a distributor of natural gas in Montana, Wyoming, North Carolina, and Maine. It was founded in 1909. The stock pays a yield of 4.6% and sports a price to earnings ratio of 12.5.
LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (RIT), is an exchange traded fund that invests in real estate related companies including real estate investment trusts. It sports a yield of 6.8%, and has paid dividends since 2002. It is trading at a slight discount to net asset value. The management fee is 0.61%.
Calamos Convertible & High Income (CHY) has a decent yield of 7.3%. However, the management fee is fairly high at 1.13%. This CEF, founded in 2003, invests in high yield fixed income securities and convertible securities.
The MFS Multimarket Income Trust (MMT) pays a yield of 7.7%. The stock trades at a 9.2% to net asset value. The company, which has been around since 1987, has a management fee of 0.85%.
Baytex Energy (BTE) is an investment trust which generates income from petroleum and natural gas properties. It generates a yield of 4.4%, and has been paying monthly since 2006. The company trades at 20.3 times forward earnings.
Realty Income Corp. (O), one of the few stocks with a single letter stock ticker symbol, yields 5.1%. This real estate investment trust which specializes in commercial retail real estate, has been around since 1969. The stock trades at 15.9 times forward earnings.
Provident Energy Trust (PVX) is a Canadian income trust which generates a yield of 6.3% through the marketing of natural gas liquids. It was founded in 1993. Canada's new legislation which taxes trust income goes into effect this year. This would tax the trusts at the corporate level in addition to the shareholder level. However, this taxation is probably already built into the price of these Canadian trusts.
The monthly dividend investments you should avoid are:
1. the ones with high management fees
2. the ones with limited liquidity and which trade very few shares each day
3. the ones that trade at a premium to net asset value
4. the ones using excessive leverage

Monthly Dividend Real Estate Companies
A little over a year ago, I predicted that the bottom of the real estate market would take place in November of 2009. There were positive signs in 2010 but as I mentioned in my article, real estate is like a giant ship; it takes a long time to turn, unlike the stock market, which can turn on a dime.
If you think real estate is turning around, there are alternatives to buying a rental house. Alternatives include real estate investment trusts and closed-ended funds that invest in real estate securities. These investments can provide liquidity and income, plus you don't have to worry about being called at 2 o'clock in the morning about a leaky toilet. According to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are several real estate stocks that pay dividends monthly, with yields ranging from 2.3% to 7%.
For example, Inland Real Estate Corporation (IRC), a real estate investment trust that owns and operates shopping centers and single-tenant retail properties in the Midwest, yields 6.2%. The company has been paying monthly dividends since July of 2004. The stock trades at 11 times forward earnings. It just reported lower fourth-quarter results, with funds for operations at 21 cents a share for the quarter versus 23 cents a share for the same quarter last year.

Top Monthly Dividend Stocks
There are plenty of benefits of stocks that pay their dividends monthly, whether you are a retiree looking for income or an active investor looking for places to put your profits. According to the report that was just updated by WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are almost 300 different securities that pay monthly, most with very high yields. Technically, these stocks are real estate investment trusts, oil income trusts, closed end bond funds, and closed end income stock funds, which pay dividends every month. The advantages to having monthly dividends versus quarterly or annual dividend stocks are that your invested capital is returned faster, compounding happens quicker, and there is usually less volatility. As an added feature, many of these pay tax free income.
Here is a random selection of the hundreds to chose from:
Baytex Energy (BTE) 6.3%
Blackrock Apex Municipal Fund Inc. (APX) 6.0%
Calamos Convertible & High Income (CHY) 8.5%
Evergreen International Balanced Income (EBI) 6.0%
Hugoton Royalty Trust (HGT) 8.1%
LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (RIT) 8.2%
Permian Basin Royalty Trust (PBT) 8.6%
Reaves Utility Income Fund (UTG) 7.2%
Western Asset High Income Opportunity Fund (HIO) 9.5%
Some things to keep in mind when you are doing your due diligence and analysis on these investments. Be careful of the ones with high management fees, watch out for the ones with limited liquidity and which trade very few shares on a daily basis, and if you invest in the municipal bond closed end funds, make sure you know the consequences of the Alternative Minimum Tax. You also want to find the ones that trade at a discount to Net Asset Value, and avoid the ones using excessive leverage.
To see the latest updated list of over 280 monthly dividend stocks, including several that have yields of 10% or more, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Remember, the very high yields may not be sustainable.
