The first 190 Safe Dividend Investing podcasts answered hundreds of questions about stocks that I had received from my podcast listeners and the readers of my other publications. Starting with Podcast 191 the 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 is also an opportunity for me to bring to the listeners attention information that I think may assist them in creating and managing their self-directed stock portfolio.

7 Questions Including Why I Criticize Investment Advisors 12 October 2022
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?
