@Steve91 That's true, at the moment the stocks have all fallen somewhat, although the dividend has remained the same. However, the prospects are still quite good that things will go up again, at the latest in a post-Trump era. You just have to be careful that the dividend is still higher than the fall in the share price, it can't go significantly into negative territory, of course. But I believe that the old share prices will return. (Hope is the wrong word here)
By a clear margin Oxford Lane, currently very cheap to get, followed by Orchid Islands, AGNC anyway, some Global X ETFs with monthly payments, IE located, i.e. without withholding tax, Hercules Capital (for years, always reinvested quarterly, ebeso Whithorse finance) around 12-14%, more solid stocks SITC (for many years incl. decent price increase) Orient Overseas, Suntien green energy, RWE, (out of habit, old VZ shares), Kenmare, Thungela and a few smaller ones. Orient Overseas, Suntien green energy, RWE, (out of habit, old VZ shares), Kenmare, Thungela and a few smaller ones. In principle, the approx. 70 KEuro investment in these dividend payers is enough for 900-1000 Eueo income per month. The rest is just ETFs and other individual stocks as trial balloons, another 40K or so. In total about 105KEuro in the portfolio. But I actually only invest in the aforementioned dividend payers, especially the ETFs
$316 I've held a small position for ages. Over the years I've had a dividend of over 20% if I remember correctly. It's my only position that has paid for itself. 😁
While we're on the subject of shipping companies, SITC is a very good tip. ZIM seems to be slowly picking up speed again, but I don't yet have BW LPG and BW Offshore in my portfolio - they also pay well.
Depend on how you evaluate the Dividend providers, their markets and their origin. On ETFs (at least the ones that are available to Greek Market) are the following Distributing monthy Dividends JEPG = Global track (Try to outperform MSCI World Index) JEPI= USA track JEPQ=Nasdaq track All three ETFs from J.P. Morgan are UCITS, however they are relative new, ~1 year, and they are actively managed. Also, there are some gems from the Athens Stock Exchange such $OPAP$AIA both are considered defensive with good 0.5$OPAP is part of Allwyn that has Kaizen Gaming and Novibet $AIA is fairly new but highly appreciated (recently did Script Dividend)
Also, there are $O as REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) from USA market with monthly distribution
Currently, the best is $MYTIL but not a dividend driven stock
