Show HN: An index of all monthly dividend stocks
* &quot;index&quot; has particular connotation in finance. This is just a list - not an index.<p>* Why &quot;monthly&quot;? There may be higher quality companies that pay quarterly. Why exclude them?<p>* Have you looked at the myriad dividend ETFs? Things like SDY showcase funds that have regularly raised dividends YoY. ETFs may be a better way to get consistent yield and yield growth. Look into SDY, DVY or higher-powered div rates with SDIV, SRET.<p>* Lots of people noting tax treatment of divs as well as pointing out the &quot;dividend irrelevance theory&quot;. Tax treatment will vary depending on the type of income. If you&#x27;re looking purely at equity dividends then they will most probably be treated as income. However, with ETFs you may be exemptions depending on the income source. For example US Treasury ETFs that pay dividends are exempt from US State taxes (look at Bondbloxx suite of treasury ETFs). Municipal bond ETFs are exempt from both state and federal tax in most cases.<p>* Dividend irrelevance: If a $100 stock pays $1 div then its stock price is adjusted to $99. So there&#x27;s no free lunch. The point is you want cash-flow generating businesses where management has decided they don&#x27;t really know what to do with extra cash laying around so they hand it back to their shareholders. Being able to consistently generate these dividends and GROW the dividends indicates typically high quality, value stocks. The short-term end of the yield curve is yielding 5.4% (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ustreasuryyieldcurve.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ustreasuryyieldcurve.com&#x2F;</a>) right now... so a company would -- very broadly speaking -- need to engage in projects with hurdle rates greater than what they could get in very safe bets with the US Government.<p>* Other forms of yield harvesting or income generation are writing OTM calls. A consistent strategy can be found in ETFs like JEPI or XYLE<p>* Re: monetizing your site. The web is awash with finance websites. This data can be found in a screener tool (finviz.com amongst many). People want trading ideas, so maybe this is better served as a newsletter or similar. Also, why should I trust your site. Financial data is notoriously finicky. Old data gets re-stated. What are your data sources?
