    Well most companies that pay out monthly are ones where the variance in cashflow is very small. For example REITs and utilities. I own Northern Properties (REIT), Boardwalk (REIT), Inland Real Estate (REIT) and Permian Basin Trust (royalty trust) that pay out monthly.

    NPR and BEI are listed in the Toronto stock exchange, IRC is listed in NYSE. So they are all publicly traded companies.

    I apologize for the error. translate.google.ru. From Russia.
    Engaged in fundamental and financial analysis.
    Risks of the company do not depend on the frequency of dividend payments.
    They depend on the ratio of its cash income and liabilities.
    liabilities / income. This determines the risk function.
    More frequent cash dividend increase cash flow shareholder.

    I just never came across that. I´ve only invested in one REIT in my life, it was a company that owned apartment buildings in Colorado. Can´t remember the name off the top of my head, but they were paying 12% at the time and I got another 15% movement in the year I owned it back around 2002. I didn´t really understand the industry or their business model, so it was just a quick experiment. But anyway, they paid quarterly.

    EDIT - was bugging me that I couldn´t remember the name. It is Aimco symbol AIV Looks like it has had a decent run the past decade, I never followed it once I got out.

    I just checked BEI -- Yahoo has their dividend listed as NA, which probably isn´t a good thing for the stock price. I checked the press release, I am not sure terminology matters that much, but they don´t even say it is a dividend, it is called a ´monthly per unit distribution´.. which I guess means each month you get a portion of the rent they collect from their units? This month is $2 based on a $60 stock price, which to me looks like an incredible 20%+ annual payout rate. Nice find!

    Yahoo isn't too good with dividends of companies listed outside of the USA. I prefer to use the company's own website.

    And yes REITs often call them distributions and refer to "shares" as units. Not sure why.

    Currently they are paying about $2 ANNUALLY, not monthly. So about 3.4%. That is quite low for a REIT but as you can see they have a pretty nice record of raising it each year. I'm in this for a long run so I prefer companies which are raising their dividend on a yearly basis. Also when looking at the distribution history of BEI keep in mind that they just handed out an extra distribution (declared in December, paid in January) due to the sale of certain properties.

    All good information! So when you receive dividends, where does that money go? Does it get re-invested into your shares??

    No, I don't reinvest dividends. I prefer to buy full shares of stock vs. a DRIP. When it comes time to sell, it is a REAL pain to figure out partial shares. I have learned that the hard way at tax time. Where does the money go? It usually goes to somebody I owe money to! :)
