概要

Knowing little about investing I entrusted my life savings to an investment advisor. Within three years the value of my retirement savings had shrunk by $300,000. He had assured me that mutual funds were safe and that when I retired and liquidated 4% of my portfolio each year to live on that the income could be relied on until I was 90. It now appeared that it would be all gone before I was 65.


I now had the motivation to find a better, safer way to invest. My hundreds of weekly podcasts relate to what I learned over the last 22 years in creating for myself a generous, reliable income and in growing my wealth. My annual income is in the six figures and my portfolios are in the seven figures. My portfolio has survived very well through the 2008 and 2020 market crashes. It has never stopped growing and keeping my income well ahead of inflation.


Much of my success was a result of my experience as a commercial risk executive with Dun & Bradstreet, Creditel and Equifax. In the past I had built commercial risk scoring systems that had helped guide banks, insurance companies and trade suppliers from incurring losses. I now built stock scoring software to help guide my choice of stocks for my portfolio. This easy-to-use software is supplied free with my 10 investment books.


In the the 300 weekly podcasts and the 10 investment books I pass on advice and recommend proven practices, such as:

(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 profitably 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 deviant stock to only 5% of your wealth.....

(5) 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 22 years, through two market crashes and one pandemic. I have watched my portfolio’s capital more than quadruple from where I started, despite taking out a generous dividend income every year to live on. For my books and podcasts I have spent years scoring thousand of high dividend paying stocks traded on the TSX, NYSE and the NASDAQ.


I proved that carefully chosen financially strong stocks paying high dividends can provide not only a generous dividend income but outstanding capital growth .Financial independence is realizable.

    SAFE DIVIDEND INVESTING

    For years, the TD Bank's free stock analysis database has been a valuable information resource for self-directed investors like me. It provided a convenient one-stop-shop to research publicly traded companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. TD has now eliminated some of the important financial information that careful investors like me relied upon such as a company's operating margin and its book value. These two important measurements provided valuable insight into the financial health and valuation of a business.

    In this podcast I show how a free, user friendly, Google, Artificial Intelligence program can be used to solve the problem of this missing data.

    SAFE DIVIDEND INVESTING

    I believe, it is important in investing to keep things as simple as possible. Safe companies that you choose to invest in, should recognize that they must be constantly be returning money to improve their operations to generate greater sales. If they do not grow their revenues then inflation will eat up their profits. Unprofitable companies go out of business.

    This week I analyze a US company and a Canadian company that are paying dividend yields greater than fourteen percent. I explain why I prefer to receive the 3.5% dividend yields I receive from thousands of shares I own in major Canadian bank stocks then the 14.16% dividend yield I would receive if I invested in Canadian Bank Corp, stock symbol BK.

    While the second stock analyd is Seven Hills Realty Trust pays an even higher dividend dividend yield of 17.02%. It has been established on the NASDAQ since 2006. However, I explain why it is not safe enough for my portfolios.

    For safe investment growth and income, it is critical to spend time analyzing your stock choices before buying them.

    Tesla has been part of the S&P 500 since 2020. Does it deserve to be part of that elite group of stocks? What did they have to go through to be accepted by the S&P 500 where such giants as JP Morgan & Chase have been resident since 1975. Will Tesla still be there five years from now?

    How does Tesla's strength compare to a long established auto manufacturer like Honda? Which of the two auto stocks would be a safer stock to buy in 2026?

    Are we soon going to experience another stock market crash like we had in 2020?

    These are just a few of the questions explored in this podcast.
