Milestonecapitalgrowthportfolio.com is pleased to update our members to other possible long term investment opportunities. This article will be concentrating on the area of Monthly Dividends. Using technical analysis one can easily enter into a position and reap the rewards of being paid a small monthly dividend. While we are not recommending any particular investment vehicle we are offering a glance into some potential opportunities within this spectrum. Most investors already know about stocks that pay quarterly or yearly dividends but few know about the value of lower priced income funds that pay monthly dividends. It is our hope that you will find this article informative and educational.
One way to create the most steady income stream possible in your portfolio is to buy stocks that pay a monthly dividend. However, not every stock with a monthly payout is a suitable investments for every investor. Some monthly dividend stocks are quite safe, while others are more speculative and should be avoided by risk-averse investors.
Here’s an overview of the types of stocks that pay monthly dividends, along with some information to help you determine which could be good investments for you. This list is a sampling of what is available and has passed our criteria to be put on a list.
