Safe Dividend Investing: Recent Episodes
Ian Duncan MacDonald
In 2020, I lost $300,000 in mutual funds that an investment advisor had put my lifesavings into. I lost it because I had entrusted it to an industry that does not educate investors nor encourage them to look closely at what that industry is doing with their money. I set out to find a better, safer way to invest. My podcasts relate what I learned in creating a generous, reliable income and in growing my wealth. A few of the more important lessons I learned and explore are:(1) It is important to become a self-directed investor.(2) If you can not easily measure the risk and potential in an investment then do not invest in it. This excludes from your portfolio bundled investment devices, like mutual funds, ETFs and Index funds,. (3) Financially strong companies who have paid “good dividends” for decades will continue to stay strong and continue to pay good dividends because it is in their executives selfish interest.(4) Diversification is critical. Investing equally in the best 20 strong dividend stocks is the ideal. 20 limits your risk in any one stock to 5% of your wealth. No matter how strong you think a stock is, do not fall in love with it. I have lived very well off my steady dividend income for 16 years, through two market crashes and one pandemic. I have watched my portfolio’s capital more than triple from what I started with. In 2020, for charts in a new investment book I was writing (Safer Better Dividend Investing), I spent months scoring all 628 dividend stocks paying dividends of 6% or greater traded on the NYSE and the NASDAQ. It revealed dozens of stocks that can provide not only a generous dividend income but outstanding capital growth.Financial independence is realizable for careful, patient investors.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast #287 on August 8th of 2026.
Who determines if the stocks in a mutual fund, ETF or Index fund are safe? Could it be that fund managers deliberately bundle hundreds of stocks together to create an illusion of safety that they can hide behind?
After my mutual fund lost $300,000 in three years. I sold that mutual fund and set out to learn how to be a successful self-directed investor, relying on my common sense and the wealth of free information that is available on every stock traded on every stock exchange,
That was 25 years ago. The portfolio of a few hundred thousand dollars I started with, in my fifties, grew by many multiples. The annual dividend income it generates, which I live on, has grown well into the six figures and is still growing every year. This growth keeps my income well ahead of inflation. I now have zero fear of ever being left penniless.
It was not difficult to realize this growth and security. This podcast gives you an over view of how it can be accomplished. You do not have to be a financial genius but you do have to be patient and careful. Once your portfolio of 20 financially strong, high dividend paying stocks is created, you can go for years without ever having a need to make any changes to it.
My other 286 podcasts and my books will develop your investment confidence.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast #286 on August 1st of 2026.
The current threats by the US to invade Canada encouraged me to reissue a book with the new title of "The Fifty-First State - A Lost Alliance". I wrote this book 10 years ago when a devastating drought in the American Southwest was going to trigger the invasion of Canada to reroute the water in the Great Lakes. Now, the threat of turning North America into a battle ground no longer appears to be just an excuse to give fiction writers something interesting to write about.
In this podcast, I have a short excerpt from that book describing plans to repel the invasion but the main theme is showing you how to protect your life and your wealth by purchasing a second citizenship in a safe nation. If you were required to escape to a safe haven, it would also be wise to have converted part of your wealth to gold that could be drawn upon when you might not have access to income from your stock portfolio.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast #285 on July 25th of 2026.
I keep hearing how 90% of speculative investors within a few years lose the money they have invested in stocks. Often, I have wondered if this is an exaggeration.
Surely if the odds in stock speculating were that poor then people would cease speculating. Therefore, I was intrigued to come across an article by a speculator who describes the misfortunes of six young speculative investors over six years.
For over 20 years, the value of my boring portfolio of 20 stocks has grown, year-after-year, while providing me with the very generous ever rising dividend income that I live on.
After reading his article, I wrote to its author and he replied. His response gave me some valuable insights into investing which I share with you.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 284 on July 18th of 2026.
Many investors believe we are living through a stressful time. Although our investments may have reached all time highs the future of our stock portfolios no longer seem to be as safe and secure as they were a few years ago.
Was the 25% drop in the value of IBM shares in one day, earlier this week, an unusual exception, or could International Business Machines be the first sign of a coming stock market crash? One that is bring triggered by inflated AI stock prices and the world wide turmoil caused by oil insecurity, wars and threatened invasions?
International Business Machines: "Wall Street views the century-old tech giant as a prominent enterprise AI players, heavily focused on integrating artificial intelligence into hybrid cloud solutions, consulting services included along with data management".
In this podcast I review IBM's historical and current situation while suggesting an investment strategy that can help you weather the storm of a the next stock market crash.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 283 on July 11th of 2026.
Many years ago, I was responsible for building a national commercial risk database of over 2,000,000 businesses to warn banks, insurance companies and trade suppliers of serious financial problems that their commercial customers were encountering. Every business that offers the incentive of credit terms to their customers to make a sale is gambling their repayment terms will be met. If not, it can lead to not only destroying their profits but can lead to business failure.
In this podcast, I share a few insights about the birth and death of businesses that I learned from building this commercial risk database. It can help you to achieve the decades of financial independence from your stock portfolio that I have achieved.
One of the most critical things I have learned in choosing stocks and monitoring the stocks in my portfolios is to pay close attention to a company's operating margin. Today I explain this in detail with particular attention to recently listed penny stocks and how to separate fact from fiction in a stock promoters rhetoric. If you do some very basic research you too can build a strong, safe portfolio.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 282 on July 4th of 2026.
Many investors appear to be impressed by current high trading volumes of some stocks. Some companies trade more than 100,000,000 shares in a day. Surely this must be an indicator that the stock is in great demand and that you could not possibly lose money by investing in such a popular stock. However as you will see in this podcast high share trading values can be misleading You must look at other important indicators of strength like profitability, share prices over a dozen or more years, ever increasing dividend prices, book values and so on.
This week we consider the buying of shares in major airlines. With the rapid acceleration of oil prices this year, because of the Iranian war, it has made travel very expensive. When higher costs are combined with attacks on immigrants, it is little wonder that the travel industry has seen revenues shrink by billions of dollars. No one is going to travel to countries that make them feel unwanted or in danger. Although things appear to be improving it may take years before things are back to where they were in 2025.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 281 on June 27th of 2026.
This week's podcast is about safe investing. It recommends that you build a reserve fund of cash, or near cash, to be drawn upon in emergencies. Whether you like it or not you are going to be surprised by unexpected large expenses critical to your health and well being.
If you do not have enough cash to cover such unfortunate surprises then you are going to have to quickly borrow money, usually through a credit card. Credit card interest charges very high interest rates if you are unable to pay off your balance each month. With a little bit of planning you can save yourself thousands of dollars in interest charges by creating a reserve fund,
Growing a portfolio that provides you with independence requires not only requires carefully selecting financially strong stocks paying generous reliable dividends but also carefully managing your expenditures.
Your path in life is not predestined. You control your investment decisions.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 280on June 20th of 2026.
This podcast is directed at those who frequently listen to my podcasts and even read my, and other writers' investment books. While these listeners may recognize that their income and wealth could be much greater if they were self-directed investors, they fear the idea of testing the waters and actually building a self-directed investment account.
Anything you have never done before can initially be intimidating - especially if it involves money. However, major banks have made creating a self-directed investment account easy and quick. They put you in total control of your self-directed account.
All the money you may now be paying a financial advisor can be saved. Over several years this can add up to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars that is better invested making you money.
Don't you want to know exactly what you are invested in and why you are invested in it? It will not be like investing in a mutual fund where you have only a vague idea of what your money is invested in and without having direct access to it. With a self-directed investment account, you are in total control.
For those who keep their life savings in a bank saving account where it is making one percent in interest, you could be averaging an annual 7% dividend return each year plus a gain of 10% of more in the share price of the strong stocks you add to your portfolio. That dividend income keeps coming in even during the inevitable market crashes that you wait. relax while you watch your share prices recover.
What motivated me to become a self-directed investor was seeing the mutual funds my investment advisor put my money into lose $300,000 in three years. I feared for my retirement and did not buy his explanation that this is just the way things are in the stock market. That was over 20 years ago.
The value of my portfolio and the dividend income has never stopped growing. You do not have to be a genius to reap the benefits of your own portfolio. Now is a good time to become an independent investor?

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 279 on June 13th of 2026.
In this week's podcast I question how many investors are prepared for the next stock market crash. They usually occur every five to ten years. The last one was in 2020 and the current economic conditions make many investors now feel insecure about how their portfolios will weather the storm when it comes.
My objective is to show investors how to find and select the stocks of financially strong companies with long histories of ever increasing shares price and ever growing high dividends. The kind of dependable, growing stocks that you want to hold for a lifetime. Stocks whose dividend payouts will not decline during the next stock market crash.
Many investment advisors recommend the stocks of major US food manufacturers as safe stocks to hold if you feel insecure as to how your portfolio will fare during the next market crash. I think you will find my analysis of the five highest US food manufacturing dividend payers raises questions about US food manufacturing stocks whose shares trade in the tens of millions each day.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 278 on June 6th of 2026.
In this week's podcast I review the foolishness of blindly entrusting your retirement income to an investment advisor. It is your retirement not the investment advisor's..
Since you, not the investment advisor is responsible for your retirement's, you can not naively assume that enough money will be there to maintain the life style you have enjoyed over the decades before retired. You must have a clear picture of what you are invested in and why you are invested in it. Make sure your investments are safe and generating far better investment growth in your portfolio's value.
Follow my successful self-directed investment journey after my investment advisor lost $300,000 of my life saving over 20 years ago. All the free information I needed to make good investment decisions is immediately accessible on many good investment data websites.
My objective is to show investors how to find and select the the stocks of financially strong companies with long histories of ever increasing shares price and ever growing high dividends. The kind of dependable, growing stocks that they will want to hold for a lifetime.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 277 on May 30th of 2026.
In this week's podcast I analyze three stocks that were being promoted . They were "Take Two Interactive Software" (Stock Symbol TTWO) who are the creators of the long established video game "Grand Theft Auto; The century old Honeywell International Inc and a relatively new stock PagSeguro Digital Limited. The promoter for was very aggressive in his selling of their shares of Take Two. However, a quick analysis of the stock made me wonder why? It is interesting to compare it to Honeywell and PagSeguro. I wonder how much effort the analysts' who recommended buys for these three stocks put into their research.
My objective is to show investors how to find and select the the stocks of financially strong companies with long histories of both ever increasing shares price and high dividends. The kind of dependable, growing stocks that they will want to hold for a lifetime.

In this week's podcast I discuss why Nvidia, this week's hot AI stock, and Peter Druker's five highest scoring stocks NYSE stocks ( Master Card, Visa, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson and Coca Cola) do not qualify for my stock portfolio. For safe diversity I want my million dollar portfolio to contain 20 diverse stocks to provide me with a safe income exceeding $60,00 annually with the expectation that their rising share prices and dividend payouts will last my life time. How I will choose these 20 and where to find them is detailed.

To build a strong, generous portfolio Start using the free AI system provided in this podcast to analyze and score your proposed stock purchases s in seconds. Visit the attached transcript where the free AI system is provided. When I saw this software in action, it made it seem very possible that investment advisors could be replaced by technology within ten years.
It is a minority of a financial institution’s employees that create distrust with their investor clients. Many investors with substantial savings would rather keep the money in a bank savings account, where it loses 3.5% of its value each year to inflation, than entrusting it to a financial advisor.
For investment advisor to stay relevant it would have to start with better screening of the investment advisors. A client wonders who is this stranger that says they are an investment advisor and want to help me? Can I trust them? In this podcast I suggest several ways that investors could possible again learn to trust advisors and the institutions they work for. Is it possible for the industry to change?

In this weeks episode I explain why the secret to achieving financial independence is learning how to measure the degree of risk in stocks so you can choose those with the greatest numerical chance to constantly grow your portfolio's share price annually by 10% while enjoying a dividend yield percent exceeding 6%. This objective immediately rules out investing in AI stocks like Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Apple and Advanced Micro Devices.
The purpose of a company is to make a profit not to provide a gambling platform for speculators trying to time when shares will dramatically climb so they can quickly sell them at a huge profit and then repeat this game over and over again for the rest of their lives - or until all their investment money is lost.

In this week's podcast I investigate how to safely maximize the income realized from dividends. If investors who did well over six years by investing in the top 20 highest scoring stocks in my my 2020 book "Safer Better Dividend Investing" would their dividend income not have been much higher if they had instead invested in the 20 stocks listed in the book that had the highest dividend yield percentages? I was surprised by what my research revealed.

In this week's podcast I explore stock scoring. This is objectively measuring the benefits and risks of mathematically comparing one stock with another. There are about 14,000 stocks in North America that you could purchase. Is it possible to select and score all these stocks and narrow you stock purchase down to 20 that are going to give you the best return on your investment over six years?
To prove that stock scoring works I go back to 2020 when I released my book, "Safer Better Dividend Investing". How did the 20 highest scoring stocks identified in that book do over the last six years. You may be surprised.

This week's podcast is a departure from my usual offering. Paul Musson went through my podcast and wrote comments about its content. He was a professional investor employed as a portfolio manager with MacKenzie Investments for almost 25 years. His responsibilities included managing ten billion dollars in assets.
I have encountered many investment advisors but Paul is the first portfolio manager I have met. I was curious whether he would be critical of my emphasis on investing safely in financially strong stocks paying high dividends. His written comments were recorded by me into the dialogue for the podcast.
What the podcast is about is how now faced with the sale of a stock where was I going to invest that cash. I have not had to buy or sell a stock in several years.
Usually most investors are speculators trying to quickly buy and sell their stock at the earliest opportunity to gain a profit or to avoid a loss. Would Paul see my infrequent trading and careful stock choices as contrary to a professional's approach to investing?

Who are those ultra high dividend stocks that you are warned against investing in? Investment advisors like to paint high dividend stocks as traps to rob you of your money. I was curious to investigate if I should consider adding some ultra high dividend stocks to my portfolio.
While I have found that most advisors know little about dividend stocks, I was curious to investigate the differences between several ultra high dividend stocks paying a dividend yield percent exceeding 20% to a stock like Citigroup that 15 analysts recommend buying but only pays a dividend yield percent of 2.13%.
In this podcast I calculate the IDM stock scores of several ultra high dividend stocks and analyze their risk. If you have ever been considered adding an ultra high dividend stock to your portfolio, you will find this podcast interesting.

Geopolitical risk has now become the biggest threat to the stock market. It has created supply chain instability and has polarized countries into being either friends or enemies. Close behind this risk and being used as weapons to subjugate perceived enemy countries are tariffs, sanctions, export controls and restricted access to new technologies.
Supply chains have been thrown into disarray and long-established global alliances are being shredded. The flames of retaliatory trade wars between nations are being fanned.
In this week's podcast I discuss how to build a stock portfolio that will allow you to safely navigate these turbulent times and protect you from both the threat of inflation and a recession.

In this week's podcast I review what options exist when you are no longer able to manage your stock portfolio.
In my March 7th podcast I was once again not very complimentary of investment advisors. Being a self-directed investor is seen as being a better, safer and more cost-efficient method of investing than placing your portfolio in the hands of an investment advisor. However, what happens when your advanced age eventually makes self-directed management of your investment portfolio no longer possible?
One of the listeners to that podcast responded with a good question. He asked, if you cannot trust investment advisors employed by large financial institutions to manage your stock portfolio then who would you trust to handle your stock portfolio?
Until this listener raised this question with me, I had never considered what I would do if my wife and my children predeceased me and I needed someone to manage my affairs if I became incapacitated. I know from experience that I do not trust investment advisors employed by a large financial institution. As well, the lawyers and accountants I have dealt with knew little about commercial risk and judging the potential of stocks.
What professional would I then not hesitate to entrust the management of my stock portfolio to? I explain in this podcast that I would choose a trustee in bankruptcy and why I would do so. This would be a fiduciary role independent from their bankruptcy work.

While going back through all 265 Podcasts to find which podcast has had the most listeners, I found two Podcasts that for some reason had never been broadcast. One of them was Podcast #41 recorded December 8 or 2021.
Podcast #41 has some good insights into the problems with mutual funds and buybacks.
Unfortunately it did not have a transcript with it.
I made them available to listeners today.

This podcast covers the final five chapters of my first investment book,"Income and Wealth from Self-Directed investing". In it, we explore how 9 information elements are graded to provide a public company's total stock score.
The higher the score, the safer and higher the dividend payments and the more likely the stock will show a capital gain of 9 percent or more in a year. The highest possible score would be 100 and the lowest would be zero. Out of the thousands of scores I have calculated, the highest score has been a 78 and the lowest has been a 7.
Being able to score and then sort by score, stocks traded on any stock exchange makes it easier for you to build a strong portfolio, The fact that the stocks in the charts in my books are sorted in descending order by score, price, dividend percent and alphabetically greatly speeds up the process.
The following questions are answered in this podcast:
(1) If a stock had a share price of $100 how many points would this contribute to its total score?
(2) If it was a stock that had not existed 4 years ago, how many points would it contribute to the total score?
(3) If five analysts recommended the stock, how many points would this contribute?
(4) If a stock was paying dividend yield percent of 8%, how many points would that contribute?
(5) If a stock's operating margin exceeded 85%, how many points would that add to the score.
(6) If the number of shares trading on average in a day was 9,000 how many points would be added to the score?
(7) If the stock were a high-flying technical stock with a price to earnings ratio of 350.1x how many points would such a high P/E ratio generate?
(8) What must you always do after you have identified the 20 stocks in the book you want for your portfolio, and you are now ready to buy?
(9) Why are preferred shares not recommended for your portfolio?
(10) What industry has the highest scores?
In these 32 podcasts I wanted to cover the content of at least one of my investment books to give those with an interest in investing an idea of what was involved in choosing stocks and building a portfolio. More importantly I wanted you to realize that with the tools I provide that you are perfectly capable of building a strong dividend portfolio on your own. If an 80-year-old Miss Innocence can build a strong dividend portfolio, that has grown by hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last 3 years while providing her with a generous income, you also can do it.
Next week, I will begin reviewing questions brought to my attention by investors over the last three years. Some questions in 2020 were projections about stocks being impacted by COVID-19.
If you have any questions, please email them to imacd@informus.ca. I am usually sitting at my desk working on the "American High Dividend Handbook" and I will likely see your message flash across my screen. It will give me a break from the tedious job of building hundreds of charts. That book should be available next month.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 265 on March 7th of 2026.
My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am the author of 7 investment books. My seventh investment book, Achieving Financial Independence Safely - 200 NYSE Stocks Analyzed and Scored" became available January 3rd on Amazon. You can easily find it by searching in Amazon or Google for "Ian Duncan MacDonald books". For more information on my other books and safe investing go to www.informus.ca
In this week's podcast I ask the question, "Can Investment Advisors be Trusted".
To generate enough income to live on an advisor must service and sell a hundred or more investors. The large financial institutions they work for provide bonuses and other incentives to push the investment advisor to exceed monthly targets. If these objectives are not achieved the investment advisor's job may be terminated.
Being an investment advisor is a stressful job. To survive it can result in investment advisors bending the rules. Some financial institution turn a blind eye to practices that are not only shady but pure theft. Before you turn over your life savings to an investment advisors consider the warnings in this podcast.
In my first investment book, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing" I went into detail in how an 80-year-old widow was not only robbed by the investment advisor in one major bank but also by the investment advisor in the second bank she had transferred her investment portfolio to. Her attempt to find an honest investment advisor had failed.
She then followed my directions and became a successful self-directed investor who was able to recover the hundreds of thousands she had lost as a full service investor with the two major banks.
I have been retired for 20 years and living very well off my investments. My high net worth continues to grow year-after-year along with my high income. I own no ETFs, no mutual funds or bonds. 100% of my portfolio is in financially strong, high dividend paying stocks. Even when the share prices declined in the market crashes of 2008 and 2020 my dividend income grew and was not impacted.
I select the stocks by scoring them. My background was in building large commercial risk scoring systems that rated millions of companies for banks, insurance companies and trade suppliers. To me stocks are just another form of commercial risk. My objective is to show investors how to safely invest.

I have been retired for 20 years and living very well off my investments. My high net worth continues to grow year-after-year along with my high income. I own no ETFs, no mutual funds or bonds. How is the constant growth in my portfolio possible? Why have I never had to sell any of the stocks in my portfolio to maintain my life style?
100% of my portfolio is in financially strong, high dividend paying stocks. Even when the share prices declined in the market crashes of 2008 and 2020 my dividend income grew and was not impacted.
I select the stocks by scoring them. Years can go by without my seeing any need to make changes to my safe portfolio of 20 stocks. In this week's podcast I discuss the 8 scoring factors I use to asses stocks.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 263 on February 21st of 2026.

How much thought have you put in choosing the bank where you deposit your money? What bank stocks have you chosen to invest in? A quick Google query as to your bank’s ratio of uninsured deposits is either going to reassure you or concern you. Those banks reporting a ratio greater than 50% in uninsured deposits to total deposit have an elevated risk.
Bank failures can occur just like they did in 2008 when cheap credit and a failure to determine the credit worthiness of home buyers created an inflated housing bubble. When that bubble burst home buyers lost their mortgage deposits and homeowners saw the equity in their houses disappear. Business and consumer bankruptcies and foreclosures spiked. Mortgage-backed securities failed resulting in a recession leading to the Lehman Brothers bank failure. This was the largest bank failure in US history.
In today's podcast we examine the 5 safest banks in North America and the 5 largest banks in North America.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 262 on February 14th of 2026.

Realizing a good dividend income from a financially strong portfolio does not mean you can ignore unnecessary drains on your income. For example, have you been scammed, conned, cheated, robbed, or otherwise relieved of money today, yesterday, last week or last month by businesses you thought you could trust? Hopefully the loss was only a few hundred dollars.
Scammers know that people tend to be more cautious with larger sums. They deliberately keep their scams under a few hundred dollars to remove your incentive to fight to recover what you have lost. The scammers that you will usually encounter aim for high volumes of small, scams rather than a single big one. They count on you treating your loss as a lesson learned and walking away. This allows the scammers to continue scamming others.
In today's podcast I will explain how you can recover your money from scammers.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 261 on February 7th of 2026.
My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am an author of 7 investment books. My seventh investment book, Achieving Financial Independence Safely - 200 NYSE Stocks Analyzed and Scored" became available January 3rd on Amazon. You can easily find it by searching in Amazon or Google for "Ian Duncan MacDonald books". I will maintain the introductory price for this new book until I have finished contacting all the previous buyers of my books have been contacted and given a chance to purchase it at its introductory price.
In this podcast I discuss the 4% rule. It advises that once you retire you should only sell off 4% of your portfolio each year if you want that portfolio to provide you with a steady income until you are ninety. However, I have found over the last 20 years that if you carefully invest equally in 20 financially strong companies that have long histories of paying high dividends you will find that your dividend income and the value of your portfolio will almost automatically keep increasing.
There is no reason your portfolio and your dividend income can not keep growing until the day die. Years will go by, where by living within your dividend income you will have no need to sell stocks to live well. Your income will rise ahead of inflation and if you live to 110 your portfolio will still be growing.
I wonder if promoting the 4% liquidation rule was a strategy spread by investment advisors to assure them of a reliable income from your portfolio for the next 30 years? If your dividend income is going to roll in automatically from your carefully chosen dividend stocks, what are you paying an advisor tens of thousands of dollars for every year? It has been my experience that few investment advisors know much about dividend investing other than it is a threat to their income.
My books are not get-rich-quick books. They are about showing people just like you how to select, from the thousands of stocks available, those few that are financially strong with long histories of paying ever rising high dividends with ever increasing share prices. My objective is to give investors the confidence to consider building safe stock portfolios as self-directed investors. Once your financial independence is realized, you will, like me, enjoy a generous, reliable, income for the rest of your life.

The latest hyper promotion of Artificial Intelligence penny stocks as the next Microsoft or Nvidia reminds me of the pump and dump strategy of stock promoters pushing gold stocks that I encountered decades ago, early in my career. Today, almost the same language is being used however they are now aided by the internet and other computerized aids.
In this podcast I analyze an actual penny stock and explain what to look for to avoid getting caught up in a pump and dump scheme in which you could lose all your money. It is astounding how much these investment schemes can make for the stock promoters at the expense of investors. No one puts a gun to the head of those purchasing these stocks. They are blinded by what they think is a "sure thing", despite the fact that they have done not even the basic research on the stock.

Today, I compare five stocks each with a share price greater than $300. Four of them are AI stocks: Alphabet, Adobe, Microsoft and Meta Platforms. The fifth stock (traded on the New York Stock Exchange) is as far away from being an artificial intelligence stock as you can get but unlike the four AI stocks it has anunusually high dividend yield of 9.65%. It is almost impossible to find a stock with a share price over $100 paying a dividend even as high as 2%. I wondered if this high dividend stock was a scam. I had to investigate this unusual stock and share with you what I learned.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 258, on January 17th of 2026.

Being a miners son and having worked my way through university as a mine laborer I found it interesting this week to read an author's views about the attitudes towards money of the wage earning working class to that of high-net-worth attitude of the wealthy class. Having also been well compensated senior executive in large corporations and now living off my investments I felt qualified to add my views on the differences. Is the billionaire with his investment portfolios really happier because of his investments or do they weigh him down?
A similar question was raised by another author who suggests your objective should be to strive to spend all you have accumulated and to die with a net worth of zero. I find there is something sad to imagine seeing joy in the eyes of the soon to be departed because he has achieved his ambition of reducing his wealth to zero. You may find my views on such an ambition interesting.
My books are not get-rich-quick books. They are about taking a little time to carefully seek out financially strong companies with long histories of paying ever rising high dividends accompanied by rising share prices. Diversification, persistence and patience win out in investing. The objective is achieving financial independence for the rest of your life.

You can easily find it by searching in Amazon or Google for "Ian Duncan MacDonald books". Until February 10th, it is available at a discounted price.
This week I answer a question from one of our listeners who wants to understand why some of the largest of the financially strong companies who appeared in my previous books do not appear in the current book. I relate what I learned in building a national commercial risk data base of 2,200,000 businesses and why I am not surprised that the high share prices of companies is often temporary. The stocks who quickly climb from a share price of a few dollars to hundreds of dollars are at the fickle mercy of speculators. I illustrate why I trust my future income and wealth to dividend payouts rather than share prices.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 256, on January 3rd of 2026. Happy New Year!
My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am an author of six investment books. Today my seventh investment book, Achieving Financial Independence Safely - 200 NYSE Stocks Analyzed and Scored" became available on Amazon. You can easily find it by searching in Amazon or Google for "Ian Duncan MacDonald books". It is my only book in the display with a green cover. Until February 10th, it is available at a discounted price.
In 2025 the book required hundreds of hours of my time. It feels good to now have the freedom to investigate investment questions I have wondered about. For example, how many U.S. stocks pay dividend yields over 20% and would I consider adding any of them to my portfolio?
My research identified 27 stocks out of thousands traded in the USA who pay a dividend over 20%. One paid an incredible 400% dividend. I also immediately identified one that appears in my latest book. It is one that I might have consider for my portfolio. In this week's analysis of these two stocks may get some insights in the consideration of high dividend stocks.
My books are not get-rich-quick books. They are about taking a little time to carefully seek out financially strong companies with long histories of paying ever rising high dividends accompanied by rising share prices. Diversification, persistence and patience win out in investing. The objective is achieving financial independence for the rest of your life.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 255, on December 27th of 2025. My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am an author of six investment books.
I finally finished the editing and formatting of my latest book, “Achieving Financial Independence Safely. 200 NYSE Stocks - Analyzed and Scored”. Early next week it will be forwarded to Amazon/Kindle. As soon as it is available, I will be informing all those who sent emails to me at imacd@informus.ca requesting when they could order it at the the initial discounted price.
During the following week I came across an article by an investment analyst at a large firm. He excitedly reported that Microsoft paid out in dollars a higher dividend than any of the S&P 500 companies. Since a Microsoft stock could be bought for $487.71 and paid out a dividend $3.64 over a year I found it hard to believe that $3.64 was something to brag about. I also wondered for such a profitable company where were the billions in profit going?
This podcast deals with stock options, investment charges, greed, inflation, Verizon, portfolio's of 20 stocks, speculator blindness and achieving financial independence.
My books are not get-rich-quick books. They are about taking a little time to carefully seek out financially strong companies with long histories of paying ever rising high dividends accompanied by rising share prices. Diversification and patience win out in investing.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 254, on December 20th of 2025. My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am an author of six investment books.
I continue to working away on my latest book which will be called “Achieving Financial Independence Safely. 200 NYSE Stocks - Analyzed and Scored”. I am now down to the editing and formatting. However, I did add a new chapter to recognize the tremendous impact that AI stocks are having upon the stock market. I have anticipated that the readers of the new book would question why nothing on AI stocks would have appeared in the book.
I found it interesting in researching this new chapter on AI stocks how similar an impact it has had upon the population was to when electricity was first introduced in the late eighteen hundreds. The same fears were there about a technology that you might not be able to control.
My books are not get-rich-quick books. They are about taking a little time to carefully seek out financially strong companies with long histories of paying ever rising high dividends accompanied by rising share prices. Diversification and patience win out in investing. The objective is achieving that steady, reliable income that results in financial independence for the rest of your life.
My plan is to release this new book at a greatly reduced price for ten days. If you wish to be informed of this preliminary release date, please email me at imacd@informus.ca.

I am still working away my latest book to be called “Achieving Financial Independence From 180 High Dividend NYSE stocks - Analyzed and Scored”. I hope to complete it within the next ten days.
The book will be of great assistance to anyone who wants to build a safe portfolio of financially strong, high dividend, income stocks. My plan is to release the book at a greatly reduced price for ten days. If you wish to be informed of this preliminary release date, please email me at imacd@informus.ca.

The objective of my podcasts and investment books is to motivate you to pursue financial independence as a self-directed dividend investor. You can achieve this independence faster and at less expense than handing you life savings over to those who wish to transfer as much of your money into their pockets as they can. No one cares as much about your money as you do.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 251, on November 29th of 2025. My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am an author of six investment books.
Today is a very quick podcast. I am trying to finish up my latest book before Christmas. It is called “Achieving Financial Independence From 180 High Dividend NYSE stocks - Analyzed and Scored”. Over the last 7 months It has taken up much more of my time than I had expected. However, the end is in sight, and I think it will be of great assistance to anyone trying to build a portfolio of financially strong, high dividend, income stocks.
I did have time this week to watch a recent lecture by Warren Buffet on YouTube. It is not often you get insights into the pluses and minuses of bit coins, investment bubbles, and why value investing works, from an outstanding investor with 70 years of investment experience. I think anyone who listens to this video will come away as I did much wiser and better informed. The lecture has a terrible title to get your attention “Bitcoin is going to zero”. It was easily found on YouTube. I strongly recommend listening to it.
Hopefully I will soon finish the job of launching my new 340-page book. My plan is to have a preliminary release of the book at a reduced price. If you wish to be informed of this preliminary release, please email me at imacd@informus.ca.
This is Ian MacDonald hoping my 250 podcasts have motivated you to pursue financial independence as a self-directed investor. Visit my website www.informus.ca if you wish to learn more about me and my books.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 250 (November 22, 2025)
It is interesting to investigate what motivates investors to invest in the stock market. Do they believe that once their portfolio achieves a specific dollar amount the they will the be "wealthy". Will they recognize that spending money unnecessarily and thoughtlessly can quickly destroy the wealth they may have spent years accumulating. The reality is that if you spend all you earn, you are not getting wealthier, you are just living high.
How much do ego and envy influence the spending habits of investors? Hopefully this week's podcast may help you with your investment priorities.
I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show investors an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends . I have been successfully investing this way for more than twenty years . My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing six figure income but over time has continued to increase the value of my portfolio by many multiples.
For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www.informus.ca or listen to the previous 249 weekly podcasts. The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you. Some of the remainder give you an opportunity to practice choosing stocks and introduce new relevant topics

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 249- (November 15, 2025)
When you ask someone's advice in choosing a stock are you subconsciously looking for someone, other than yourself, to blame if the stock loses money?
You are perfectly capable of doing some simple, easy analysis to determine the strength and potential of a stock. In this podcast I walk you through the process. It is not difficult and takes minutes not hours to do. Two stock multi billion dollar companies UPS and FDX are used to illustrate the procedures. Rely on your own analysis and know exactly why the stock you chose was based on factual not hearsay information or stock tips.
I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show investors an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends . I have been successfully investing this way for more than twenty years . My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing six figure income but over time has continued to increase the value of my portfolio by multiples multiples. This conflicts with what I was told by investment who told me my portfolio would gradually shrink as the years went by.
Unlike mutual funds and index funds - where investors have no control over their investment and only a vague idea as to what stocks are in the fund - a self-directed investor can fully understand and appreciate the value of each stock in the portfolio that they created. They can escape the mundane returns and high fees inherent in owning funds.
For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www.informus.ca or listen to the previous 248 weekly podcasts. The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you. Some of the remainder give you an opportunity to practice choosing stocks and introduce new relevant topics

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 248- (November 8, 2025)
This week's podcast was motivated by a question from one of my book readers. He asked why I was so sure there would be a market crash in the next two years.
I am old enough to remember very clearly the hype and hectic days prior to the dot com stock market crash in 2000. The internet was then going to be the next big thing. Investors would all get rich if they invested in companies that had dot com in their make up.
AI is now the next big thing. However, as I point out in my podcast, everything that glitters is not gold and AI brings problems with that need to be resolved.
Looking closely at the major AI stocks you can see that they are speculative investments. While it is advantageous to have a small percentage of your stocks in speculative stocks to hopefully grow your portfolio's value, you are advised to be very careful.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 247- (November 1, 2025)
This week's podcast is in response to a question from one of my listeners. He was concerned that one of his, what he thought was a strong stock, had lost fifty percent of its share price value almost overnight. Yes, even strong stocks can have sudden unexpected drops in their share price. This does not mean that you need to panic and immediately discard the stock. It means that you have to look closely at the history of the stock and its potential. Changes the company may have made that caused the drop in share price many actually strengthen the company in the years to come. This may actually be an opportunity to buy more of the stock at a low price.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 246- (25 October 2025)
As I continue to score and analyze stocks for my next investment book the loss at The Kraft Heinz Company (stock symbol KHC) caught my interest. KHC was a merger formed in 2015 and will cease to exist in 2026 when it is again split into two companies.
It is currently the 5th largest food company in the world. When Warren Buffett, who is recognized to be the most successful stock investor in the world, invested $3.76 Billion dollars of Berkshire Hathaway's money Kraft Heinz he was sure it would provide a generous return. Berkshire have now lost $2.63 billion in this venture.
There are lessons for you to learn from this loss. Perhaps the biggest is do your own basic research and do not accept that anyone can accurately predict future share prices.
In this podcast (with a written transcript attached) you can get an understanding of why the stock scoring software supplied with my books makes it easy to identify and sort the strength of the kind of stocks you wish to acquire for your portfolio.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 245- (18 October 2025)
This week is a departure from my usual podcast content. It responds to a Fidelity investment advisor with whom one of my readers discussed my approach to investing. The Fidelity advisor stated that Ian Duncan MacDonald's investment ideas were the craziest ideas she had ever heard of.
What makes this email particularly Interesting to me is that the reader has a PhD in Applied Statistics and Mathematics. This would indicate a familiarity with scoring systems and the ability to judge the validity of my investment approach.
The reader raised the interesting question of why would a simple easy way of assessing the safe investment value of a stock not be taught in school. Most investors have a very limited understanding of the wealth of investment information that is free and immediately available on the internet from such websites as Yahoo Finance. All they need to be shown is what information is important and how to interpret it.
I write my investment books for those who do not invest in individual stocks for fear that they will lose their life savings. My books show investors an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe companies who pay high dividends . I have been successfully investing this way for twenty years .My portfolio of strong dividend stocks provides not only provide a reliable, growing source of income but over time has greatly increase the value of my portfolio.
Unlike mutual funds - where investors have no control over their investment and only a vague idea as to what stocks are in the fund - a self-directed investor can fully understand and appreciate the value of the portfolio they create.
In this podcast (with a written transcript attached) you can get an understanding of why the stock scoring software supplied with my books is so effective.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 244- (11 October 2025)
While preparing for a trip to Bermuda, Ian Duncan MacDonald noticed that three Bermuda registered companies would be appearing in his new investment book. The book analyzes and scores 200 strong, high dividend stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange. That three companies from such a small island would be appearing in the book intrigued Ian so he immediately analyzed and scored them.
The three companies were (1) DHT Holdings Inc (stock symbol DHT) (2) Flex LNG Ltd (stock symbol FLNG) (3) SFL Corporation Limited (stock symbol SFL).
Ian writes his books for those who do not invest in individual stocks for fear that they will lose their life savings. His books show investors an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe companies who pay high dividends . Ian knows after successfully investing this way for twenty years that a portfolio of strong dividend stocks provides not only a reliable, growing source of income but over time they will greatly increase the value of a portfolio.
Unlike mutual funds - where investors have no control over their investment and only a vague idea as to what stocks are in the fund - a self-directed investor can fully understand and appreciate the value of the portfolio they create.
In this podcast (with a written transcript attached) you can get a taste for the factual information that Ian measures and provides to readers building strong, generous portfolios. Which of one of the three Bermuda stocks in this podcast do you think would be a good choice for your portfolio?
You may also find Ian's observations on the unique attractiveness of Bermuda as a destination.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 242- (4 October 2025)
Ian Duncan MacDonald has started to write another investment book on stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. Both his books and his podcasts are written for those who fear investing in the stock market because they are convinced they will lose their life savings.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 232.
Ian Duncan MacDonald has started to write another investment book on stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. It will be called “2025 Edition – America’s 200 Strongest High Dividend Stocks – Analyzed and Scored”. It will take several months to complete. It is being written for those investors who fear making investment decisions. Many of them fear losing savings, which they may have spent a lifetime accumulating.
Ian's books show investors an easy, safe way to pick financially strong companies who pay high dividends that will provide a generous, reliable, growing income while also increasing the value of their portfolio. Unlike mutual funds and other investment vehicles where investors have no control over their investment, self-directed investors who create a manageable portfolio of 20 stocks from the 200 analyzed and scored stocks will know exactly what they are invested in and why they chose each stock for their portfolio.
Ian is inviting those wanting to gain self-confidence in self directed investing to follow along in his podcasts over the next few months as he scores and analyzes the stocks for his new book. Today he is scoring and analyzing the first three strong stocks in the alphabetical listing of the 200 stocks. They are : Alexander's Inc (ALX), Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc (ARE) and Alliance Resource Partners LP (ARLP).
For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www.informus.ca or listen to the previous 232 weekly podcasts. The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 232. This week's podcast is a departure from the format of the last 40 podcasts. Today I am doing a comparison between three major US airlines : American Airlines Group Inc (AAL), United Airlines Holdings Inc (UAL) and Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL).
There are many large publicly traded companies on stock markets from which we buy merchandise and services . At times you can be puzzled by their policies and behavior. By analyzing their public stock market information, that is freely and immediately available, you can gain surprising insights into their policies and behavior.
If you analyze these three airlines, as if you were buying shares in them, you can quickly understand how their financial strength could negatively impact their customers. This knowledge can help guide you in your buying decisions.
The objective of my podcasts and my six investment books is to show investors that they can easily become successful self-directed investors. Not only can they realize a safe dividend income of 6 to 8 percent but show substantial gains in the value of their portfolios. Through self-directed investing, thousands of dollars in investment fees, commissions and charges can also be saved . A great sense of security is realized from knowing exactly what you are invested in and why you chose to invest in that safe strong stock.
For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www.informus.ca and listening to the previous 231 weekly podcasts.
The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you.

21 April 2025
US INVASION PLANS FOR CANADA
My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald. Today’s podcast is a departure from my usual Saturday dividend podcasts. It explores the conflict currently going on between Canada and the United States.
A few days ago a podcast listener was excited to discover in my novel, “USING DROUGHT USA” that I had predicted a situation where the president of the United States would initiate a plan to invade Canada to acquire its natural resources
That novel was released in 2019. While it is a fictional work, the story is based on long simmering issues within Canada that many Americans may not be aware of.
Releasing Chapter 13 of USING DROUGHT USA in this Podcast is a quick way, especially for Americans, to understand why references to Canada becoming a fifty-first state is not viewed by Canadians as a joke. It ignited their suppressed patriotic emotions.
Those interested in the action before and after Chapter 13 can go to amazon.com. Using new technology Amazon recently made this novel and my other two novels immediately available as inexpensive audio books. The novels are also available as e-books or a print books. You may be interested in my earlier novel "Duel" which deals with an action packed confrontation between the USA and China for world dominance.
To set the scene in Chapter 13 of "Using Drought USA": Dr. Rob Lyons, a US State Department analyst, has journeyed to Calgary to meet with Western Canadian separatists a few days after meeting with Eastern Canadian Separatists. The President had sent him to Canada undercover to investigate how the United States could invade the country and take what they want.
The State Department has embedded a communication device in Rob’s body to monitor the situation and silently assist him..
Book : USING DROUGHT USA

Narrator: Ian MacDonald

The first 190 Safe Dividend Investing podcasts answered hundreds of questions from my podcast listeners and readers of my publications. Since then the weekly podcasts have usually dealt with identifying the week's 10 dividend stocks whose recent exceptional share price growth on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges may have made them worth considering as possible portfolio acquisitions. It also is my opportunity to bring to the listeners attention information that I think may assist them in creating and managing their self-directed stock portfolio.**

Welcome to Podcast 195 on November 16th of 2024.
In today's podcast in addition to the one US stock and one Canadian stock that stood out this week for their significant share price gain I was moved to write an essay on what you are really investing in, which has little to do with charts and what fund managers are choosing for you. No one is going to care as much about your invested money as you do. It is important that you do some basic analysis before purchasing any investment being recommended to you.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 193 on all on November 2nd of 2024.After doing 190 podcasts I thought it was time for a change. This podcast will no longer be dedicated to answering new investment questions. However, you will be able to find answers to hundreds of questions answered in the previous 190 podcasts.
What is different, is that every weekend I will now scan through thousands of stocks and bring to your attention one U.S. stock and one Canadian stock that appears to be stronger and stand out from all the other stocks showing a significant gain in share price in the previous 5 trading days. I will score these two stocks and provide you with their sub scores and Grand Score. ***Visit the attached transcript for each Podcast to see the scoring matrix for these two stocks.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 106, on March 9th of 2023. Today, I will be answering 4 interesting investment questions.
In the first question, I continue, as I have for the two previous podcasts, with my analysis of Warren Buffett's 686 billion dollar Berkshire Hathaway portfolio.

.**QUESTION (1)
Out of the hundreds of strong profitable stocks to choose, why would Warren Buffett choose to invest in an unprofitable penny stock?
QUESTION (2)
What is the one key question to ask an investment advisor that they hope you will not ask and may refuse to answer? QUESTION (3)
How can you achieve high returns in a stock portfolio while taking on little risk? QUESTION (4)
What is the highest dividend paying stock that is good to hold onto?**

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 105, on March 1st of 2023. Today, I will be answering 5 interesting investment questions. Once again I am looking at the 10 changes Warren Buffett made to 10 shares of the 51 shares in his $686 Billion dollar Berkshire Hathaway hedge fund in the last quarter of 2022.

Has Chevron Corporation (CVX) performed as Warren Buffett Expected?

Is Apple Inc (AAPL) still a hot, speculative, technical stock? QUESTION (3)
With its shrinking share price, is now the time to sell Disney or is it a golden opportunity to buy more of it? QUESTION (4)
What are a few basic things a person should know before they consider buying and selling stocks? QUESTION (5)
Why should you not panic when the value of your portfolio is dropping like a stone and there is no light at the end of the tunnel?**

Four Investment Questions:
(1) With Tesla's share price drop, would you consider buying it ?
(2) I have lost money because I did not sell my house early in 2022. How important is timing in the buying of a stock ? If a share price drops I may be able to pick up what is now a $10 stock, paying a $1 annual dividend for only $5, if I wait. This would give me double the dividend income if I invested the same amount of money. According to you dividends remain steady even though share prices fluctuate.
***(3) Will the stock market ever recover ?
(4) In the stock market, why can the majority of investors be wrong? *********

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 85, on October 12th of 2022. Today, I answer seven interesting investment questions:
1. Why are you so hard on financial advisors? Most advisors work strictly for the betterment of their clients. I also know without a doubt that financial companies have a zero-tolerance policy for advisors who operate otherwise. I resent your implication that the typical financial advisor’s recommendations are more concerned with his compensation than the well-being of their clients?
2. Would you agree that financial advisors recommend annuities as an investment because they offer both zero-downside risk and have tremendous upside potential, not because it is part of their compensation?
3. Is there a risk in buying a stock for its dividend?
4. Why do investors panic during a stock market crash?
5. Should I pay a financial advisor to select the stocks for my portfolio, or should I do it myself?
6. Is it possible to set up a stock portfolio without having to constantly spend hours on research and paperwork?
7. If there is always a reason behind stock price movements, does it create predictable patterns?

In Podcast 57, Ian Duncan MacDonald reads Chapter Four of his latest book, "American High Dividend Handbook". This chapter describes how the following eleven information elements are used to compile a stock's score.
By using the stock scoring software, that comes with his books, it has proven that you can expect not only an annual dividend yield in excess of 6% but an annual capital gain in excess of 18%. Scoring removes the emotional guesswork out of determining which stocks hold the greatest potential. Even during recessions and market crashes, your consistent dividend income will be paid. This allows you to relax and wait for your stocks to again rise to new record highs.
ELEMENT # 1 – CURRENT PRICE OF A STOCK
ELEMENT # 2 – HISTORICAL PRICE OF A STOCK
ELEMENT # 3 – A STOCK’S PRICE TREND
ELEMENT # 4 – A STOCK’S BOOK VALUE
ELEMENT # 5 – A COMPARISON OF BOOK VALUE TO CURRENT PRICE
ELEMENT # 6 – NUMBER OF INVESTMENT ANALYSTS RATING THE STOCK A BUY
ELEMENT # 7 – NUMBER OF INVESTMENT ANALYSTS RATING THE STOCK A STRONG BUY
ELEMENT #8 – A STOCK’S DIVIDEND YIELD PERCENT
ELEMENT #9 – A STOCK’S OPERATING MARGIN
ELEMENT # 10 – NUMBER OF THE STOCK’S SHARES TRADED DAILY
ELEMENT # 11 – A STOCK’S PRICE-TO-EARNINGS RATIO
For a more detailed description of how a stock is scored, it is recommended that you visit the website www.saferbetterdividendinvesting.com or obtain a copy of any of Ian's investment books.

In this podcast, I answer two emails from Paul. He has read my latest book "American High Dividend Handbook" and followed its advice in how to prepare a portfolio of financially strong stocks paying high dividends. He intends to retire in four years and is counting on this portfolio providing he and his wife with a generous, safe income. Paul poses some excellent questions, which I answer. These answers, raise other questions in a second email that I also answer.
While people may listen to my podcasts and believe they are getting good advice, I think it is important for them to hear from an objective third party who has applied the strategies, used the software, and built a strong, dividend portfolio based on the book. His insights into what he experienced over forty years of investing are intriguing.
The answers in this correspondence deal with important concerns like the following:
(1) What criteria should be taken into consideration in selling a stock?
(2) Should you keep on investing all your dividends until you retire?
(3) How frequently do you review a portfolio and re-score stocks?
(4) When is a stock a bargain?
(5) Why is experiencing a major loss with a financially strong dividend company unlikely?
(6) How can dividend payments be triple in 10 years ago but still pay the same 3.5% yield.
(7) What is the "repulsive" advice Investment advisors give those saving for retirement?
(8) How can a stock lose 50% of its share value and increase its dividend payout?
(9) Why is it important to aim for a portfolio of no more than and no less than 20 stocks?
(10) Would my spouse be able to easily manage our portfolio if something happened to me?

Every week I receive questions. I only answer the ones that interest me. There are only so many hours in a day.
Having no interest in speculative investing, I ignore the ones asking what stocks are going to show big gains or where is the stock market headed in 2022 or is Tesla still a good stock to buy, etc. The following questions got my attention.
The first question we explore in this podcast is "Why can mutual funds, ETFs and Index funds not perform as well as a carefully chosen portfolio made up of 20 financially strong companies paying high dividends"?
The second question "Suppose you wanted to buy a speculative stock that you stood a good chance of making a great profit or losing all your money. What would you do"?
The third question, "How did you recover after you lost all your money in the stock market?
The fourth question, 'How can you get over the fear of losing all your money in the stock market and keep on investing"?On November 17 I loaded my fourth investment book, "American High Dividend Handbook" into Amazon/Kindle. It makes it even easier for investors to put together a strong dividend portfolio. No longer do they have to score a stock before seeing the eleven sub-scores that make up a company's grand score. At a glance, a company's strengths and weaknesses are laid bare.
In addition, adding historical share prices and dividend payouts in the years 2021, 2016. 2011 and 2001. Gives a good perspective as to the steady growth of these high dividend stocks over two decades.
I have revamped my website, www.saferbetterdividendinvesting.com. There is more information available on each book, stock scoring and the PowerPoint videos.
Direct any questions to me at imacd@informus.ca or phone me on my New York phone at (929-800-2397) or my Toronto phone at (416-245-4994)
November 17, 2021
In tonight's abbreviated podcast, I introduce my latest investment book, "American High Dividend Handbook". Today, it became available at amazon.com as a print book and on Kindle as an e-book. The book is 486 pages long and will be a valuable, time saving, investment tool for both experienced investors and new investors buying stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ.
The American High Dividend Handbook is a companion publication to the Canadian High Dividend Handbook that was released in September 2021 for those who invest on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Your trading account has been established. You have selected and purchased the twenty financially strongest, highest paying dividend stocks you could find.
If investing is new to you, you will be checking your trading account several times a day. Soon you will recognize that this is unnecessary. The share prices of the stocks you have chosen chug along steadily making no dramatic moves but slowly gaining in value. This does not mean you should not keep an eye on them.
Every day I spend three minutes checking and recording the total value of my portfolio and seeing if it has spun off any new cash. I receive dividend income on the 15th of the month and the first day of each month. That income has provided me with a generous retirment income for 17 years as I watched it grow my portfolio by more than 300%, QUESTIONS FOR CHAPTER 10 - MONITORING YOUR STOCKS(1) Why did the "income projection program" disturb Ms. Innocence?
(2) How important to the management of your portfolio are the daile stock market indices reported in the media?
(3) What does an experienced value investor become deaf to?
(4) Why am I rarely surprised by fluctuations in the value of my portfolio?
(5) What should you record in an Excel Spread sheet ever 3 to 6 months?

(7) What is the "BOOK" value of a stock in your portfolio?
(8) How can you tell when a full service Investment Advisor has hijacked your account and prevented you from buying or selling stocks?
(9) How would you determine if a stock that has shrunk down below your purchase price is temporary fluctuation to be ignored or an opportunity to buy more of that stock at a bargain price?
(10) Why are you pleased to see the code "WBW" next to an amount in your "ACCOUNTS ACTIVITY" page.

On September 1, 2021, my third investment book "Canadian High Dividend Handbook" was released on Amazon/Kindle books. It contains enhanced information on each high dividend stock traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange e.g. the last 3 years of price, score and dividend yield percents for each stock, plus share price and dividend payouts for each stock in 2021, 2016, 2011 & 2001 to help you pick the strongest stocks.
Before the end of 2021 my fourth investment book "American High Dividend Handbook" will be available. It contains expanded information on the high dividend stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ. As I work on it, I am surprised at the strength of so many of the companies.

Direct any questions you might have to imacd@informus.ca.
After dozens of podcasts about investing, I think it is time to take a break and record something different. We can resume investment discussions next week. This podcast is from the first chapter of my novel, "USING DROUGHT USA".
I like to write novels and I like to do research. For years now the drought in the US Southwest has been constantly in the news. Things seem to be getting worse. Perhaps the scientists are correct in blaming the dry conditions on climate change. I thought it would be interesting to research the topic, build a novel around it and come up with a solution to the parched conditions.
This first chapter was meant to set up the rest of the book which touches on Washington lobbyists, greedy politicians, wasted water, invasion, the native peoples, the State Department, our hero, his love interest, escape, evasion and division. I don't want to give away too much or you woud not be surprised when you read the book.
"USING DROUGHT USA" is available as an e-book or a print book from amazon.com. The simplest way of finding it, is to enter my full name, "Ian Duncan MacDonald" in a Google search and it and all my books should come up.I
I have been considering setting up a second podcast site where I would read my novels. If you would like to listen to more of "USING DROUGHT USA" send me an email at ian.macdonald@informus.ca. If you resent me interrupting the flow of information on investing, from time-to-time you could also let me know that as well.

My first investment book was written in 2019. At that time I had been a self-directed investor for more than 15 years. During which I had been able to recover far more than the $300,000 I had lost in the mutual fund my investment advisor had put my money into in 1996. Thanks to my background in commercial risk systems I had been able to create a stock scoring program and an investment system that allowed me to pick stocks that provided me with a dividend income greater than what I had earned as a Senior Vice President in a large international corporation. The portfolio had also steadily grown to three times the size it was when I took charge of my own investing in 2000. It is still growing.
After showing an 80-year-old friend how to recover hundreds of thousands lost by her investment advisor, as well as doubling her income, I realized that I could help thousands of people to overcome their fears and ignorance of investing just like I had helped her. Her biggest fear had been that of out-living her savings. I talked to her recently. She was relaxed, very much in control of her investments, and was buying new furniture that two years ago she had never thought she would ever be able to afford.
I am a writer, so I wrote an easy-to-read book about safe, effective investing. It was for those who had been curious but intimidated by the very idea of investing in stocks. Since then, I have written a second investment book for US investors. A third investment book will soon be released.
Much to my surprise, my investment books are being read all around the world. I thought now would be a good time to transfer the printed books to a podcast format to help as many people as possible. This series of podcasts starts with Chapter One of the first book, Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing. If you want a printed copy, it and all my books are available from the Amazon website in both print format and e-book format. If you search under my full name you will find the 2 investment books and my 3 novels.

In Podcast 15 Ian MacDonald answers questions.
The first question was from a grandson creating a portfolio for his grandparents.
The second question concerned financially stressed companies paying dividends.
The third was how big a portfolio do you need to generate $120,000 a year in dividend income.
The final question asked when do you sell a stock.
If you have questions, you would like Ian to answer send an email to imacd@informus.ca. For information on his books and stock scoring software go to www.SaferBetterDividendInvesting.com.
A new investor asked if you could go bankrupt investing in stocks.
I used to be very much involved in bankruptcies when I was running collection agencies and credit reporting agencies. It is a good question.
While you may lose all your savings if you are not a careful investor, you would not go bankrupt. The company you have put your money into may go bankrupt, but you should not. There are warning signs to warn you when a company is getting in to trouble. They do not go bankrupt overnight. You have more than enough time to take your money out.

You will never find an investment advisor to recommend a 100% dividend portfolio.
Such a portfolio makes them redundant.
A financially strong company paying a high dividend is making it obvious that they are profitable, have excess cash and have ever intention of paying an ever rising dividend for years to come just as they have always paid dividends. With such stocks you not only gain the benefits of a regular monthly dividend, but you also see your share price rise steadily in the years to come. It is interesting to compare dividend portfolios to the typical portfolios that advisors recommend.

Four times a year Berkshire Hathaway must report on what stocks it is holding . This week's podcast is a review of the top 10 of the 31 stocks the company holds. These 10 represent 90% of the Berkshire Hathaway holdings and add up to an impressive $249 Billion in value. There are some surprises in these top 10 that you would not expect Berkshire Hathaway to invest in.
Warren Buffet the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway is considered to be the best stock investor ever. It is almost as interesting to see what he does not invest in as what he does invest in. His investment style is usually one of carefully selecting quality stocks. Sometimes even he makes mistakes.

Why is 100% of my stock portfolio made up of financially strong stocks paying high dividends? Because I see it as the safest way to invest in the stock market. Not only can you easily receive a reliable dividend income of 6% of the portfolio even during recessions but because you choose financially strong stocks your portfolio will grow by several multiples over the years. Since the stocks are stable they require few changes to the portfolio in a year.
This podcast will give you insights into why this style of investing works.

Today's podcast was initiated by an arrogant investment advisor who wrote an article that denigrated self-directed investors. i suspect that since he only has relationships with investors who invest through investment advisors that he has little understanding of self-directed investors. I responded to his comments with an article that listed the problem the investment industry has with investment advisors without authorization helping themselves to their client's money. Every day I receive reports on these thefts of investment money..
The investment industry largely self-regulates itself. There are problems with this. To me there should be an objective third party that investors can file their complaints against investment advisors with, However, real protection would only come when the public becomes financially literate and understand how the investment industry works. They need to understand that for maximum safety they can easily establish themselves as self-directed investors where no one touches their money but them. Ultimately, I would like to see self-directed investment courses taught at the high school level to prepare students for future investing.
While I have many investment topics I am interested in, what is more important is what investment topics interest you. Please do not hesitate in sending an email to ianduncanmacdonald@hotmail.com with your suggestions.

One of the readers of my investment book, "Safer Better Dividend Investing" asked me if "rebalancing" and "exit strategies" had been considered in my stock scoring system. I explain how I designed the system for my portfolio that would provide me with a steady dividend income of 6% while generating a capital gain in the portfolio of 9% or more. It has worked better than I anticipated. My income greatly exceeds my needs and the portfolio has more than doubled over the last 16 years. In ten minutes the podcast summarizes years of work.
To gain a more detailed understanding of my approach to investing please go to my website, www.SaferBetterDividendInvesting.com. I only wish that someone had made such information available to me when I began investing twenty years ago. It would have saved me and made me hundreds of thousands of dollars.

While Ian Duncan MacDonald is the author of two investment books, “Safer Better Dividend Investing” and “Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing”, He is also the author of three novels. Today he wants to introduce you to his novel, “DUEL”.
For the last 5 days of April, 2021 a free eBook version of DUEL will be available at amazon.ca/DUEL-Rob-Lyons-1-ebook/dp/B07K6ZMF4
In this podcast Ian will be reading Chapter 2 of DUEL. To set the scene, in Chapter 1 we learn that Rob Lyons, an analyst at the State Department, is being sent to the island of Saint Matts to investigate a televised interview by Texas Senator Rick Wilcox. That morning Wilcox stated that the People’s Republic of China had secretly leased a long abandoned British naval base on the island.
The Caribbean is the United States private lake. European nations have recognized this for more than a hundred years. The idea that an Asian power would dare establish a naval base in the Caribbean is outrageous. The senator has called for a nuclear bomb to be dropped on this traitorous island.
For two decades there has been competitive rumblings and posturing between the United States and China. Within the a few years, China is expected to become the richest most powerful nation in the world. How will the United States adapt to losing the dominant primary position it has held for 100 years?
The novel deals with a confrontation between the two powerful nations that explodes on the tiny, peaceful, impoverished Caribbean Island of Saint Matts.
For decades, the Chinese have been supplying aid to the Caribbean. They filled an aid vacuum once filled by the United States when they feared the spread of Soviet communism.
Politicians in Washington, St. Matts and China play important roles in this duel. Rob Lyons becomes caught up in the whirlwind of assassination, power, and romance that swirls around him.
**In Chapter two the scene opens in the Senator’s office just hours after his televised interview.

The biggest enemy to successful investing are three very human mental influences, that can obstruct logical investment decisions. They are, “Getting on the Bandwagon”, “The Fear of Missing Out” and “ Fear of Loss”.

Podcast #6 continues with a discussion of alternative investments that we started in Podcast #5. Home ownership can be a long term investment that pays off when you eventually retire. Owning rental properties is not an easy way to make money . REITS can be very rewarding, Hedge Funds have reputation for being risky. Collectibles require patience and good contacts. Preferred Shares are not a good investment for individuals. Investing in financially strong stocks paying high dividends have many benefits when compared to these alternative investments.
The first investment you probably made was in a savings account, In this, the 5th podcast we compare how a savings account, a bond, a debenture, a mutual fund and an exchange traded fund compare to a self-directed portfolio containing the shares of 20 financially strong stocks paying dividends of 6% or more.
**In this podcast we investigate how to pick the 20 best, financially strong, high dividend stocks for your portfolio from the 14,500 stocks available in North America. First you need to establish a self-directed stock trading account with a financial institution. Once that is set up, you need to use your service's research tools to select 50 stocks that come close to meeting the criteria for the stocks you want to add to your portfolio. From this 50 you select the best 20 that you are going to buy.
You are then walked through the easy, straightforward procedure for acquiring a stock. For additional help in getting started go to my website, www.informus.ca**, and follow the path to 4 ten minute videos I have put on YouTube.com. They will contain photos of the actual screens mentioned in the podcast......Ian Duncan MacDonald
Scoring stocks is critical to picking financially strong dividend stocks that will pay good dividends through recessions and pandemics. Through the last two recessions, I sold nothing (which means I lost nothing) and waited them out. While the portfolio's value dropped tremendously, the dividends rolled in like clockwork. I have lived off my dividends for 16 years and watched the portfolio reach new record values after each down turn.
Today we look at four more components that are evaluated in the stock scoring software that is supplied to those who buy my investment books. It is supplied so at anytime they can easily score any stock. they own or are considering purchasing.
The components being discussed today are (1) stock trading volumes (2) the book value of a stock (3) the stock's dividend yield percentage paid (4) the price-to-earnings ratio of a stock. This information like all the factual information used in the stock scoring software is available instantly, free of charge from many different sources.
Stock scoring makes life so much easier for an investor. It takes the guess work out of determining what to buy, when to buy it and when to sell it. Please visit my website, "http://saverbetterdividendinvesting.com" for more information on investing.
In 2000, after an investment advisor lost $300,000 of my life savings in a mutual fund, I set out to find a safer, better way to invest the money that remained. The solution was to first become a self-directed investor. Next, it was to build a portfolio of the 20 best, financially strong companies that paid dividends of 6% or more. There are 628 stocks paying dividends of 6% or more on the NYSE and the NASDAQ,
To help me select the best 20 companies out of the 14,500 stocks available in North America I built stock scoring software for myself. In this podcast we explore the first three of nine important information items that go into this score. The three we review today are the stock's current price, its historical price and the recommendations by stock analysts.
I have lived very well off my dividend income for 16 years as I watched my portfolio more than triple despite my taking a good monthly income out of it. You too can achieve financial independence as self-directed investor. My quest is to help as many investors as I can to achieve this objective.

In 2020, I lost $300,000 in mutual funds that an investment advisor had put my money into. I lost it because I had entrusted my life savings to an industry that does not educate investors nor encourage them to look closely at what that industry is doing with their money.
I set out to find a better, safer way to invest.
Podcast #1 is an initial overview of what I learned to give me a generous, reliable income and grow my wealth. What have I learned about investing?
(1) It is important to become a self-directed investor.
(2) If you can not easily measure the risk and potential in an investment then do not invest in it. This excludes from your portfolio bundled investment devices, like mutual funds, ETFs and Index funds,.
(3) Financially strong companies who have paid “good dividends” for decades will continue to stay strong and continue to pay good dividends because it is in their executives selfish interest.
(4) Diversification is critical. Investing equally in the best 20 strong dividend stocks is the ideal. 20 limits your risk in any one stock to 5% of your wealth. No matter how strong you think a stock is, do not fall in love with it.
I have lived very well off my steady dividend income for 16 years, through two market crashes and one pandemic. I have watched my portfolio’s capital more than triple from what I started with.
In 2020, for charts in a new investment book I was writing (Safer Better Dividend Investing), I spent months scoring all 628 dividend stocks paying dividends of 6% or greater traded on the NYSE and the NASDAQ. It revealed dozens of stocks that can provide not only generous dividend income but outstanding capital growth. Financial independence is realizable for careful, patient investors.
