Welcome to Podcast 214 of Safe Dividend Investing on 29 March 2025.

 Be sure to visit the transcript for this podcast to find the detailed information on each stock that was scored.  

You may also want visit Podcast 210 where in the printed transcript, you will find Chapter 4 from my investment guidebooks. It explains in easily understood language how the IDM stock scoring system works. Using this information you can manually score any stock you encounter. The IDM stock scoring software that I provide to those who purchase my investment guide books  is derived from this chapter. The software just makes scoring stocks faster and easier.

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.

At www.informus.ca for information you can learn more about my six investment guide books.
