It’s official: Investors are still searching for yield. Income stocks have outperformed the major indices, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down. But even the best dividend stocks tend to have one major disconnect: Most of us pay our bills on a monthly cycle, yet most stocks that pay dividends do so only once per quarter. This can make budgeting a headache and adds an extra level of planning.
Several income-focused mutual funds and closed-end funds do, in fact, pay monthly. But most are concentrated in low-yielding bonds — and if you’re like me, you prefer to hand pick the best dividend stocks for both income growth and capital appreciation. The good news: There are actually quite a few monthly dividend stocks to choose from. Let’s take a look at some of my favorites: Realty Income (O), American Capital Realty Properties (ARCP), Whitestone REIT (WSR) and Student Transportation (STB)
