Show HN: An index of all monthly dividend stocks

In my quest for finding high yield dividend stocks, I've noticed there isn't really a good tool for finding such stocks (that I can find, anyway), only pay-walled sites that are confusing and inaccessible. This little project seeks to remedy that.

I'm sharing this in the hopes that you'll find it useful, but also to get feedback, in particular, about monetizing. While I built this to be useful, I would like to make some money on it, so if you have any recommendations, I'm all eyeballs. I fear I may have to resort to advertisements to keep the barrier to entry low.

I'm using the site now... very handy. I wish there were a way to filter it. For example, maybe I don't want to see covered calls.

What if I just wanted to see normal stocks (however you define that).

Does this show stocks on all exchanges such as LSE?

Doesn't look like it.

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.

A tool like this would add value to a brokerage…but I don’t see them working with you when they already have the data and charting. Maybe see if you want to join the team building Mezzi (https://mezziapp.com)

Dividends are useless, because the stock falls in value relative to the dividend when it is paid.

Seems like a decent start. As feedback, I’d suggest you take a look at quantumonline.com for an example of 1. The types of securities that income investors care about and 2. The type of information that income investors care about.

Money in the pocket. If you trust the company you assume that the stock will recover the value eventually.

But what if you prefer that steady income? It’s a honest question.
