Plenty of dividend stocks give more than 1%, even.

Edit: I am not on the ball tonight

1% a month, 12% a year on stock price? This is utterly impossible, the stock price would have risen. But if you can tell me where I can get 1% a month for some N$ investment, please share!

Per month? Quite consistently? I'm well outside my realm of expertise here so I'm honestly curious. It seems like if this were even semi-consistent people would be borrowing very heavily from banks and dropping it into these consistent stocks with something like 2-4x the interest.

I guess I'm always suspicious of free money.

Per month?

Oh, duh. My mistake. I can't even claim "it's late, I'm tired"
