How about BTF? Reply3 Portfolios for a Steady Cash Flow [view article]
I agree 100% with PWE, ERF and HTE as good investments that pay healthy dividends from stable companies in Canada. These Canadian companies offer an automatic hedging against the US dollar. The dividends automatically increase in response to the falling US dollar.I also recommend COSWF. The dividend is about 8.5% currently, but as they have been paying off their debt, the dividends have been consistently increasing since 2005. It responds very well to rising oil prices, I have see it go from $22 in late 2005 to $52 currently.
Kurt Wulff who writes articles for SA predicts more dividend increases for COSWF. He has accurately predicted previous dividend increases for COSWF. He likes PWE and ERF as well. Reply

Investors looking at the Canadian Oil Trusts should take note that many of their share prices were right where they are now or higher when oil was trading at $70.00 a barrel. Further, the yields on these issues should not be treated with skepticism but embraced as sound and reliable. Canada is the number one oil reserve nation. Russia and the Saudi Arabia are both below Canada in reserves. Canada has well over a 100 year supply of oil at 2005 proven reserve levels. Much more oil will be found in Canada in my opinion. PGH, PWE, HTE, PVX and AAV need to be considered if you are looking for Monthly income and you can hold these issues for at least 5 years. Reply3 Portfolios for a Steady Cash Flow [view article]
The author makes a compelling argument to those of us looking for a monthly income. I think, however, he overlooks one very important point when comparing a fixed-rate one-life annuity against this income generating portfolio and that is at the end of term (when you die), the annuity ends but the stock portfolio remains. In addition, the stock portfolio will offer somewhere between a little and a lot of inflation protection through dividend increases and potential capital gains.To Darkseas - you are correct about the 15% Canadian withholding and the tax is lost if you hold the Canroys in an IRA of Roth. Holding them in a taxable account however will let you claim those taxes as a credit on your U S income tax, in effect giving you the full benefit of the 12 - 14 % yields currently being paid.

It's important to note that HTE, ERF, and PWE are Canadian companies. That means that they must withhold 15% tax on the distribution.I'm not an accountant, but I believe that if you hold the stock in a tax-deferred or tax-free (Roth) account, you cannot deduct that tax. The Canadian companies tend to have higher payouts, and you should do the math to see if that compensates.
Canada is considering legislation to substantially increase the tax on distributions from pass-through entities. The current proposal includes a phase-in until 2011, but it's not clear how things will turn out.
Bottom line: If you're paying U.S. taxes, it's probably less of a hassle to go with CRT, SJT, and/or HGT. Reply

Mr. Kosnett, you just made my "Favorite Authors" list (there are two of you now...) Great article! Reply3 Portfolios for a Steady Cash Flow [view article]
regardless if you are working or retired bear in mind that the 5 daily needs are rising at app. 15-16%.so these returns are better than most but not quite good enough.i have no agenda or connections but check out FRO & NAT.no one has figured out a way to pave over the ocean & oil can be piped or shipped. so these co's with their doubled hull tankers will do well in the near future.

Perhaps I can thorough in a question bugging me. In a tax deferred account (college 529 plan) for the next 6 months to 1 year, which of these 2 invesments should have the better return? It is expected that interest rates will be on the increase, so money market rates will also increase. How will a inflation protected fund like Vanguard VIPSX do compared to a money market?

Great article.I currently user EFR and FCO for my monthly bond income. I also have some exposure to RCS and CHY. From the energy sector I use ERF. In real estate I use IGR.
These are just a few. I love the monthly income flow. Currently, I am just plowing it back through reinvestment, but can turnthe spickey on at any time.
Anyone else have some monthly ideas? 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 ReplyExchange-Traded Funds and Closed-End Funds by Asset Class, Type and Provider [view article]
can you please update this list? thanks. ReplyStocks That Pay Monthly Dividends [view article]
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
