Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Investors in turn often build complicated dividend calendars that get knocked out of whack whenever they ever have to cut back on certain stocks. May’s dividend check might be enough, for instance but June won’t be, forcing the investor to withdraw from his retirement fund, shaving away future income-generating potential.

Bit of a misnomer in the article title - these aren't all (or any?) 'monthly' dividend payers. I think the article is talking about 'steady streams of dividends' during the year. You could roll the dice and pick 12 other stocks to do the same thing - find 12 companies that pay dividends so you have income each month. (The only one I own is J&J, btw) This guy probably just scanned for high-yielders but 6/12 of these holdings are REITS? Clueless about allocation, I think.
BTW I find Forbes investing advice/blogs have really gone downhill in recent years into mostly andom click-baity pablum. Several Seeking Alpha contributors and commenters offers more useful information (it really does!) than Forbes! To wit: A running gag in the tech world is how Forbes would always have headlines saying "IOS X.X Contains a Nasty Surprise....." like clockwork whenever a new version was released -- yet those posts were devoid of anything remotely 'nasty' in terms of IOS problems.
