À propos de cet audio

In 2000, 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 to 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 critical that you 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 both part of their "character" and in their executives selfish interest.....(4) Diversification is critical. Investing equally in the best 20 strong dividend stocks is the ideal.....A portfolio of 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 18 years, through two market crashes and one pandemic. I have watched my portfolio’s capital more than triple from where I started, despite taking out a generous dividend income every year to live on... In charts, for my second investment book,(Safer Better Dividend Investing), I spent months scoring all 628 dividend stocks paying dividends of 6% or greater traded on the TSX, NYSE and the NASDAQ. I discovered dozens of stocks that can provide not only a generous dividend income but outstanding capital growth.....Financial independence is realizable for careful, patient, dividend investors.

    Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 241- (27 September 2025)

    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 is being written for investors who fear making investing in individual stocks because they fear losing the savings, they may have spent a lifetime accumulating.

    Ian's books always show investors an easy, safe way to pick financially strong companies who pay high dividends . Stocks that can 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 a sampling of financially strong, high dividend stocks from his new book. You may want to refer to the written transcript that accompanies each podcast.

    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. Often they keep their savings in bank savings accounts or bonds that fail to even match the average annual inflation rate of 3.5%. Each year their savings are able to purchase less-and-less.

    There is a better, safe way to grow your life savings. Carefully chosen financially strong stocks paying high dividends can provide a generous, reliable, growing income. Doubling the value of your portfolio within 5 years is possible due to these stocks normal capital gains and the compounding impact of investing your dividend income back into the stocks in your portfolio. Upon retiring you can live off your dividends without having to liquidate your portfolio.

    Investors in mutual funds and other investment vehicles may only have a vague idea of what they are invested in and have zero control over such "managed" investments. Each year they pay fees which are drain on their savings. Self-directed investors know exactly what is in their carefully chosen, safe portfolio of 20 diversified stocks that they have analyzed and scored. Once that portfolio is established they may go for years without a need to make changes to it.

    Ian invites those seeking to gain self-confidence in self-directed investing to listen to his podcasts. The first 160 answer many questions from new investors. The more recent podcasts each week analyze and score 3 financially strong, high dividend stocks. Follow along with Ian until you feel comfortable enough to start building your own portfolio. A written transcript accompanies each podcast for quick reference and review.

    In today's podcast #242 he is scoring and analyzing the following 3 stocks that are traded on the New York Stock Exchange:

    (1) MACH National Reources LP (stock symbol MNR)

    (2) Macy's Inc (stock symbol M )

    (3) Millicom International Cellular SA (stock symbol (TIGO )
