My biggest dividend total so far, it seems like each month I'm getting larger and larger payments. Gotta love that. You'll notice that I have a lot of "Ordinary Dividends" on this list. This is because I have a large number of REIT's (Real Estate Investment Trusts) this month, two of which (O and MMT) happen to pay monthly. Typically your average stock will issue a qualified dividend, however REIT's issue ordinary dividends. The difference is how they are treated as taxable income. An ordinary dividend is taxed at a higher rate around 33% as opposed to a qualified dividend which is taxed a lower rate around 15% I believe. This is something to consider before buying any REIT stock.
