    So how do I find a dividend paying fund that is NOT loosing value faster than the dividend is paying? Take for example ERH which is down close to 50% in the past year. Even though it pays a nice dividend, it has to have a 100% increase in share value just to break even. Then- the dividend is nice. Otherwise, I might as well stay in a 2.5% money market. Reply

    Canadian w/h tax is very poorly treated recovery if you are in the top tax bracket in taxable accounts. Also beware of the treatment in AMT Reply

    I bought IGR last Sept and was pleasantly surprised by the large monthly dividend and capital gain in December. Do they do this every year or was that a one-time deal?
    Did you ever find another ETF with the "December" effect?

    I have owned IGR for two years. The return is much more than 6% as IGR pays a very large long term capital gain in December AND a many times larger dividend also in December. Do you know of others in your list that may have this "December" effect? I own several on your wonderful list and thank you sincerely. r.d.glover vanvangg@prodigy.net Reply

    This list is the best I have seen so far, thanks. Just wondering if there is a list where you can find out how long they have been paying dividends? Reply

    These monthly dividend stocks are a great source of income for investors. The most complete list of monthly dividend payers that we have found is from DividendInvestor.com.

    They update the list daily which covers over 300 stocks paying dividends monthly.

    Thanks for your suggestion on ZTR. I will add it on the next update. In regards to the others, ZF pays quarterly, AOD hasn't paid any dividends in the last three months that I could find, and AGD is already on my list, about a third of the way down.
    It's not the Canadian Oil Income Trusts that will be phased out, it's their tax-free pass-through of income that is supposed to be phased out. The companies will most likely still be around but will be making lower dividend payments. I covered the Canadian trusts in a previous article:

    That's quite a list! Add ZF & ZTR; AOD, AGD. Div rates are approx 10% of NAV for the Zweig funds; AGD, Alpine's CEF eqivalent to ADVDX, pays about 16 cents/share/mo. AOD is a newer CEF from the same firm.
    A note of caution for the Canadian Oil & Gas income trusts: their NAV's have dropped because they may be forced to phase out by 2011 ... so their yields have risen (and their payouts vary by the cost/pricing of energy sales). The electric power trusts from Canada are not affected, nor are the Canadian REITs.

    In a previous article, I wrote up the Rules for Investing in Very High Yield Stocks. However, I've enhanced those rules below to better answer your question.

    1. Check the consistency in the number of payments per year.
    2. Check the consistency in the amount of the dividend from quarter to quarter.
    3. Check to make sure the dividend payment doesn't include capital gains when looking at the yield itself.
    4. If you are looking at the yield, check to make sure the yield isn't generated by a special high year-end distribution.
    5. Check to make sure that the dividends don't exceed the stock's earnings per share.
    6. See if the stock is selling below net asset value [NAV]. Try to buy below net asset value.
    7. Look at the quality and ratings of the securities in the portfolio.
    8. Look at the price performance of the stock over the last few years.
    9. Look at the portfolio managers: track record, any change or turnover recently?

    The Tax Withholding Issues are that the Canadian companies withhold a portion of the divideneds for tax purposes. You can generally "recoup" these withholdings when you file your tax return. However, if the Canadian stocks are held in a retirement plan such as an IRA, there is no way to recover the withholdings. [No tax advice is expressed or implied.
