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.

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.
