3 Monthly Dividend Stocks Paying Up to 15.6%

There’s a group of companies that have started catering specifically to retirees: monthly dividend stocks. Admittedly, the universe of monthly dividend stocks remains small. Most of the companies in this group consist of income trusts or limited partnerships. And, of course, you should never buy a stock based solely on its distribution schedule. But you can find enough quality and variety here to create a portfolio that spins off reliable cash flow. To help get you started, I’ve highlighted three of my favorite monthly dividend stocks below...

Realty Income Corp (NYSE:O) has stumbled upon one of the most lucrative types of deal in the real estate business: the triple-net lease. Cross Timbers Royalty Trust (NYSE:CRT) is the ultimate cash cow business. Spun out from natural gas giant XTO Energy Inc. in 1991, the partnership owns interests in a collection of oil wells across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. I love buying a buck for a quarter. Of course, the stock market doesn’t offer these opportunities often. But once in a while, a quirk in the system allows us to scoop up great assets at a discount. That’s the type of opportunity we have today with The Cushing Renaissance Fund (NYSE:SZC). This closed-end fund represents a bet on America’s shale energy boom.
