$1000 per month in dividends

What if you could make an additional income of $1,000 per month, through dividends alone? What would the size of your investment portfolio need to be?

If you need $1,000 in #dividends per month, then that equates to $12,000 per year. Divide by 0.05 (which is the 5% dividend yield we hope to get from investing in respectable stocks). You would need an investment portfolio of around $240,000 in high dividend yield stocks, in order to generate the $1,000 dividend income per month.

But where do you find stable and reliable #stocks with that kind of dividend yield? Traditionally, companies in the oil, real estate and telecom sectors have paid large dividends, but be careful not to get suckered into a dividend trap. A dividend trap occurs when investors are lured in by a high dividend yield, only to find the underlying company was not such a great buy after all.
