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 245- (18 October 2025)

    This week is a departure from my usual podcast content. It responds to a Fidelity investment advisor with whom one of my readers discussed my approach to investing. The Fidelity advisor stated that Ian Duncan MacDonald's investment ideas were the craziest ideas she had ever heard of.

    What makes this email particularly Interesting to me is that the reader has a PhD in Applied Statistics and Mathematics. This would indicate a familiarity with scoring systems and the ability to judge the validity of my investment approach.

    The reader raised the interesting question of why would a simple easy way of assessing the safe investment value of a stock not be taught in school. Most investors have a very limited understanding of the wealth of investment information that is free and immediately available on the internet from such websites as Yahoo Finance. All they need to be shown is what information is important and how to interpret it.

    I write my investment books for those who do not invest in individual stocks for fear that they will lose their life savings. My books show investors an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe companies who pay high dividends . I have been successfully investing this way for twenty years .My portfolio of strong dividend stocks provides not only provide a reliable, growing source of income but over time has greatly increase the value of my portfolio.

    Unlike mutual funds - where investors have no control over their investment and only a vague idea as to what stocks are in the fund - a self-directed investor can fully understand and appreciate the value of the portfolio they create.

    In this podcast (with a written transcript attached) you can get an understanding of why the stock scoring software supplied with my books is so effective.

    For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www,.informus.ca or listen to the previous 245 weekly podcasts. The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you. The remainder give you an opportunity to practice choosing stocks and introduce new relevant topics.

    Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 244- (11 October 2025)

    While preparing for a trip to Bermuda, Ian Duncan MacDonald noticed that three Bermuda registered companies would be appearing in his new investment book. The book analyzes and scores 200 strong, high dividend stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange. That three companies from such a small island would be appearing in the book intrigued Ian so he immediately analyzed and scored them.

    The three companies were (1) DHT Holdings Inc (stock symbol DHT) (2) Flex LNG Ltd (stock symbol FLNG) (3) SFL Corporation Limited (stock symbol SFL).

    Ian writes his books for those who do not invest in individual stocks for fear that they will lose their life savings. His books show investors an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe companies who pay high dividends . Ian knows after successfully investing this way for twenty years that a portfolio of strong dividend stocks provides not only a reliable, growing source of income but over time they will greatly increase the value of a portfolio.

    Unlike mutual funds - where investors have no control over their investment and only a vague idea as to what stocks are in the fund - a self-directed investor can fully understand and appreciate the value of the portfolio they create.

    In this podcast (with a written transcript attached) you can get a taste for the factual information that Ian measures and provides to readers building strong, generous portfolios. Which of one of the three Bermuda stocks in this podcast do you think would be a good choice for your portfolio?

    You may also find Ian's observations on the unique attractiveness of Bermuda as a destination.

    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. You may want to refer to the written transcript that accompanies each podcast.

    Today he is scoring, comparing and analyzing;

    (1) LTC Properties Inc (stock symbol LTC)

    (2) LXP Industrial Trust (stock symbol LXP )

    (3) LyondellBassel Industries NV (stock symbol (LYB )
