2 Stocks That Cut You a Check Each Month

It's safe to say that most investors like receiving dividends. Since public companies report on a quarterly basis throughout the year, most that offer dividends make distributions on a similar timetable -- once per quarter. Most, but not all. There are a relative handful of companies that just can't wait that long to pay out their money. Here are two noteworthy ones that distribute dividends every month.

Tired of getting dividends from your stocks only once per quarter or year? Then try these pair of companies on for size: Real estate investment trust Realty Income (NYSE:O) not only brands itself "The Monthly Dividend Company" but it's gone so far as to trademark the slogan. For investors with a bigger appetite for risk, there's Canada-based oil and natural gas company Enerplus Resources (NYSE:ERF). It's a play for better times in the industry. If you're a believer in the eventual recovery in oil prices, this could be a very compelling stock.
