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 286 - A SAFE PORT IN A STORM - BUYING A SECOND CITIZENSHIP & GOLD

    Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast #286 on August 1st of 2026.

    The current threats by the US to invade Canada encouraged me to reissue a book with the new title of "The Fifty-First State - A Lost Alliance". I wrote this book 10 years ago when a devastating drought in the American Southwest was going to trigger the invasion of Canada to reroute the water in the Great Lakes. Now, the threat of turning North America into a battle ground no longer appears to be just an excuse to give fiction writers something interesting to write about.

    In this podcast, I have a short excerpt from that book describing plans to repel the invasion but the main theme is showing you how to protect your life and your wealth by purchasing a second citizenship in a safe nation. If you were required to escape to a safe haven, it would also be wise to have converted part of your wealth to gold that could be drawn upon when you might not have access to income from your stock portfolio.

  • Podcast 285 - DREAMS OF RICHES, LAMBORGHINIS AND TRADING ON THE BEACH

    Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast #285 on July 25th of 2026.

    I keep hearing how 90% of speculative investors within a few years lose the money they have invested in stocks. Often, I have wondered if this is an exaggeration.

    Surely if the odds in stock speculating were that poor then people would cease speculating. Therefore, I was intrigued to come across an article by a speculator who describes the misfortunes of six young speculative investors over six years.

    For over 20 years, the value of my boring portfolio of 20 stocks has grown, year-after-year, while providing me with the very generous ever rising dividend income that I live on.

    After reading his article, I wrote to its author and he replied. His response gave me some valuable insights into investing which I share with you.

    Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 284 on July 18th of 2026.

    Many investors believe we are living through a stressful time. Although our investments may have reached all time highs the future of our stock portfolios no longer seem to be as safe and secure as they were a few years ago.

    Was the 25% drop in the value of IBM shares in one day, earlier this week, an unusual exception, or could International Business Machines be the first sign of a coming stock market crash? One that is bring triggered by inflated AI stock prices and the world wide turmoil caused by oil insecurity, wars and threatened invasions?

    International Business Machines: "Wall Street views the century-old tech giant as a prominent enterprise AI players, heavily focused on integrating artificial intelligence into hybrid cloud solutions, consulting services included along with data management".

    In this podcast I review IBM's historical and current situation while suggesting an investment strategy that can help you weather the storm of a the next stock market crash.
