    Ok here we go guys, sorry this took so long, most of them I actually had to research to make sure they were ok. If any of you decide to invest in any of them I would still recommend taking them to your local financial adviser to get a second opinion.



    REITS/stocks that pay HIGH and consistent monthly dividends

    Morguard REIT
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xtse/mrt.un/quote.html -- 6.86% (0.5 p/b)

    Morguard North American REIT
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xtse/mrg.un/quote.html -- 4.55% (0.6 p/b)

    Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSE/CAR.UN/quote.html -- 4.08% (1.0 p/b)

    Pure Multi-Family REIT LP
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSX/RUF.UN/quote.html -- 6.56% (0.5 p/b)

    Milestone Apartments REIT
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSE/MST.UN/quote.html -- 3.91% (1.0 p/b)

    Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSE/BEI.UN/quote.html -- 5.06% (0.7 p/b)

    Cominar Real Estate Investment Trust
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSE/CUF.UN/quote.html -- 10.17% (0.7 p/b)

    Nobel REIT
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSX/NEL.UN/quote.html -- 6.11% (0.7 p/b)

    Automotive Properties Real Estate Investment Trust
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSE/APR.UN/quote.html -- 7.66% (1.1 p/b)

    H&R Real Estate Investment Trust
    http://www.morningstar.com/stocks/XTSE/HR.UN/quote.html -- 6.14% (0.9 p/b)


    The links precede with the dividend yield and the price to book value (p/b), the p/b represents the discount to it's actual value so 1.0 would be fair value, anything less than that is cheap. So 0.5 p/b means the company is at a 50% discount that means if it's yielding 6.86% at 0.5 p/b you're actually getting a yield of 13.72% , this is dope because if the company rises to it's par value you can also get an additional 50% in stock appreciation.

    The drawback with these companies tho ? Well many of them are REITs (real estate investment trusts) and in Canada there's a housing bubble. This fear is also priced into the stock price (hence the discounts) so be aware that it is possible that a crash is eminent and if it occurs you could see many of these companies go to half the current price or to zero (bankrupt). I tried to find the ones who had the financials and history of continual dividends. Btw all of these companies appear to be Canadian which means you may have to ask your broker if you can buy stocks in Canadian dollar (MOST brokerages and trading platforms should allow North American companies). Since you guys are using US dollars, keep in mind the Canadian dollar is weaker to yours so the good thing is you're also getting to buy these companies for an additional 30% off because of the currency. See sometimes boxing day happens on the stock market LOLOLOLOL.

    Oh yeah and once more to remind yall - all of those companies pay monthly dividends.



    hmm thanks Sion

    since the last time I posted in here, I've purchased more shares of Coke (KO) and Disney (DIS)...their shares haven't been at "great" valuations, but I've been able to average down, from the prices I originally initiated positions in...


    but today, I initiated a position in a new company: VF Corporation (VFC)...another Dividend Champion, known for their Vans, Jansport, Wrangler, Lee, and Timberland brands...

    ok, this is what I've been waiting on...

    at the moment, some months are better than others...eventually, when I've copped more shares of other companies, I'll be be able to get around that, and make my dividend payouts a lil more consistent. right now, January, April, July, and October are my "slow" months for dividends. that'll change tho.

    but now it's February. and for February alone, I've got dividends coming from:

    Apple
    Colgate-Palmolive
    General Mills
    Hasbro
    Healthcare Partners (HCP)
    Starbucks
    AT&T


    I haven't nailed down the exact dates yet, but it's likely that I'll be gettin dividend payments for each week of February...and the work's already done, so Iont have to lift a finger to get it. chea

    ^^ I was incorrect on that post...HCP changed their payout date to March, so I'm NOT getting dividends every week in February : / ah well


    on a brighter note, Hasbro HAS kicked so much azz with their earnings that the stock went up like 12% on Monday alone...Iont really sweat unrealized capital gains, being as I'm planning on holding the stock forever, but the increase DOES look good in the ol portfolio...

    yeah, I'm prolly done with getting any new REITs.

    ^^ looks like I was incorrect on that as well...just added a new position in Realty Income Corp (O), another REIT, to my portfolio.

    Realty Income trademarked themselves as "The Monthly Dividend Company," due to the fact that they pay dividends every month, as opposed to every quarter.

    it's also a Dividend Aristocrat...caint lie tho, I overpaid for it. however, I plan on rectifying that by averaging down as I purchase more shares. mad at myself for a lack of patience, but Imma handle it. in the meanwhile, I won't ever have to sweat "slow" months anymore, dividend-wise.

    months like these (March) are truly what I'm striving for...one day, I hope to receive dividends like this for EVERY month. for now, I'll just have to be content in receiving dividends from 9 different companies and 3 Vanguard funds:

    AFL Aflac
    HCP Healthcare Partners
    SO Southern Company
    EMR Emerson
    WBA Walgreens
    ADM Archer Daniels Midland
    HSY Hershey
    O Realty Income
    VFC VF Corporation

    VGK Vanguard FTSE Europe
    VOO Vanguard 500 Index Fund
    VT Vanguard Total World Stock



    ^^that's just for one month. I'm gonna receive payouts from those same companies 3 other times this year...and sooner or later, the dividends themselves will increase too. dividends...time in the market, not timing the market.

    How much time do u need to be invested in a company to receive dividends?

    How much time do u need to be invested in a company to receive dividends?

    it depends on the date u purchase the shares, versus the company's next dividend ex-date. an ex-date is the date that one has to own shares by. purchasing and selling must occur by this date. the pay-date is the date that the dividends get distributed. sounds complicated, really easy:

    if u own shares on or before the 15th of the month, if the ex-date is the 16th*, u get the dividends. if u purchase shares on the 16th or after, u have to wait for the next dividend pay-date.

    *for example

    dividends are distributed differently per company, but in general most companies involved with dividend growth investing make payouts every 90 days or so. latest ex and payout dates are public info, hit morningstar.com, go directly through your brokerage, google, whatever...it's info u learn while you're vetting your companies.

    most companies pay dividends quarterly: Johnson & Johnson JNJ
    some pay twice a year: Disney DIS
    some pay monthly: Realty Income O

    ^^technically Disney's not a dividend growth company, but it's a welcome addition to most portfolios, and pays a dividend twice a year.

    sooo...this thread's dedicated to dividend growth investing, but not all of my company shares are in dividend producing stocks. with that said, just purchased several shares of First Solar Inc. (FSLR)

    I've been checking out this company for a good few months now. honestly came across it while doing my homework for Solar City (one of Elon Musk's companies). while doing so, I came across this gem. in a nutshell, the growth for renewable energy has already shifted into higher gear, but companies that are into solar have certain considerations to keep in mind. with that said, First Solar is a leader in the solar energy sector, and have managed to differentiate themselves from other solar companies...both P/E and book value are saying "bargain," even though I'm a little concerned about cashflow...

    since this company doesn't produce dividends, I consider it a speculative stock in my portfolio. if I have to sell it in the future, it'll be after 3 years (so it can be considered a long term holding, and I won't be taxed as much). I'd love for it to be massively successful, and even produce dividends one day, but IF that happens, it won't be in the near future, and I'm coo with that.

    How do dividend payments work? I hold positions in Delta and some other companies, but are they supposed to send you a check weekly, monthly, or whenever?

    just added shares of a new company to my portfolio, a Dividend Champion that goes by the name of Target (TGT). I expect their sales to be a lil soft for maybe the next year, hence their current low valuation, but to eventually get back on track...they've been raising their dividends for the last 49 years..

    I did my research on all of em first, through Consumer Reports and nerdwallet.com

    if u just wanna jump off in there tho, I'd consider between the following: Tradeking (who's been recently bought by Ally Bank), the RobinHood app, or Charles Schwab.
