Safe Dividend Investing
Ian Duncan MacDonald
Fréquence : 1 épisode/7j. Total Éps: 277

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.

Podcast 275 - WILL AI MAKE INVESTMENT ADVISORS OBSOLETE WITHIN 10 YEARS?
dimanche 17 mai 2026 • Durée 16:02
Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 275 on May 16th 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 all my books, stock scoring software and podcasts go to www.informus.ca
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?

Podcast 274 - WHY I WILL NOT BE INVESTING IN NVIDIA AND OTHER AI STOCKS
samedi 9 mai 2026 • Durée 16:51
Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 274 on May 9th 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 all my books, stock scoring software and podcasts go to www.informus.ca
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.

Podcast 41 --BENEFIT OF MUTUAL FUNDS OVER RATED - BUY BACKS ARE A SCAM
vendredi 13 mars 2026 • Durée 18:08
12 March 2026 -
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.
