<br />
The editor of <a href="http://web.streetauthority.com/ma-sample.asp?TC=MA0722">Street Authority Market Advisor</a> explains, "Realty Income (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/realty-income-corporation/o/nys">O</a>) just recently announced its 488th consecutive monthly dividend, meaning it hasn't missed a payment since 1970.<br />
