Are there any "normal stocks" on the list? Everything I checked is an ETF, ETN or REIT, which may have structural or tax-based reasons to return cashflow to investors monthly.
Companies that actually make widgets or SaaSes or self-driving cars or other pillars of the 2023 economy seem to pay dividends either quarterly or not at all.
Yeah, it does seem that filtering for high yields and monthly payouts tends to return a lot of leveraged funds. Pulling more quarterly paying stocks may add more value-oriented companies. I'll consider this, as well as adding more filters to accommodate that.
