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 # 97, on January 4th of 2023. Today, I will be answering 4 investment questions.
My latest book, "New York Stock Exchange's 106 Best High Dividend Stocks", is now available as both an e-book and print book at amazon.com.
Four Investment Questions:(1) With Tesla's share price drop, would you consider buying it ?
(2) I have lost money because I did not sell my house early in 2022. How important is timing in the buying of a stock ? If a share price drops I may be able to pick up what is now a $10 stock, paying a $1 annual dividend for only $5, if I wait. This would give me double the dividend income if I invested the same amount of money. According to you dividends remain steady even though share prices fluctuate.
(3) Will the stock market ever recover ?
(4) In the stock market, why can the majority of investors be wrong?

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?

In addition to answering the usual 5 questions, I have received from investors in the last week, I continue reading fromChapter Five of Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing. The chapter’s title is “Stocks and Other Investments”.
In this podcast I cover real estate, hedge funds and collectibles.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is the CEO of a public company the first to see the financial figures before they are released to the public?
2. Why does the dividend yield not have greater weight in the IDM stock scoring system's total score? For example, doubling the dividend yield from 4% to 8% only increases the dividend's total score by 4 points?
3. In your old age, does liquidity of stocks, and their consistency of dividend payouts put stocks ahead of real estate investing?
4. The "average volume" of stock trades shrink in the summer. Should your IDM stock scoring software adjust volume scores seasonally?
5. Can brokers accurately predict when a stock is going to go up or down?
