Ian Duncan MacDonald's first investment book "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing" introduced investors to athe following formula for investment success, "Build your portfolio with the 20 stocks of financially strong companies from diversified industries paying a dividend of 6% or greater". Not only does such a portfolio deliver a safe annual dividend income equivalent to 6% or more of your portfolio but you will see the total value of your portfolio grow by several multiples over the years. The 2008 and 2020 recessions have proven that dividends from strong companies get paid even during recessions and pandemics. In his new book "Safer Better Dividend Investing" Ian not only shows investors how to find their 20 stocks but he makes it easy by listing and scoring all 628 U.S. common stocks that were paying a dividend of 6% or more in August of 2020. With the strength and potential of each stock established in the score the 628 stocks are sorted alphabetically, by descending score, by descending share price and by descending dividend percentage. To insure that you have the most up-to-date score before ordering your stock, everyone who buys this book can request a FREE copy of his STOCK SCORING SOFTWARE.Over the last year, Ian has answered hundreds of interesting questions from investors. He now shares their 128 questions and his answers. Questions like:: How does the Great Depression 1929 compare to the 2020 recession?Why do so many investors not trust investment advisors?Do you see Tesla as an overpriced stock?Is it too late to start investing at 35? What are some lies stockbrokers tell themselves?Many investors are hesitant about buying stocks because they are not sure how to identify a financially strong company. The first chapters of the book explain in easy, to understand language, the importance of the eight key information items Ian used to build his stock scoring system. The eight critical items are: (1) A stock's current price.(2) A stock's historical prices.(3) A stock's current "book" value.(4) How analysts rate the stock.(5) A stock's dividend yield percent.(6) A stock's operating margin.(7) A stock's average daily volume of shares traded.(8) A stock's price-too-earnings ratio. The detailed stock scoring matrix is provided so that the scores are totally transparent and easily understood. In addition to the 628 U.S. companies traded on the NYSE and the NASDAQ, Ian also provides a list of all common stocks traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange who were paying a dividend of 3.5% or more in May of 2020. These 199 stocks retrieved are also sorted alphabetically, by descending score, by descending share price and by descending dividend percentage. Since the same compilation was done in May of 2020. The current score but last year's scores are displayed. About 20% of the stocks that appeared in 2019 no longer qualify. Several new ones have qualified for entry.

In 2001, after an investment adviser lost $300,000 of Ian MacDonald`s money, he took what was left and self-managed it. His investment objective was to build a stock scoring program that would give him an annual dividend income worth 6% of his portfolio, while increasing the value of that portfolio every year by about 9% (his background was in building commercial risk scoring computer programs for the banks and other businesses). He succeeded in his objective. While he had developed that stock scoring program for his own use, in 2019 he used it to help an elderly lady who had suffered a catastrophic financial loss, due to am investment adviser`s greed. After much of her loss had been recovered and her monthly income had doubled, she told Ian MacDonald that he needed to write a book to help people like her who knew little about investing and could easily be taken advantage of . He wrote that book. It is called, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing".He includes that PC stock scoring program with his 300 page book. To further help investors, in the last 100 pages of the book, are charts listing all the companies traded on the TSX that pay a dividend of 3.5% or more. Four sorts of the data in these charts is provided: by score, stock price, dividend percent and by company name. The data sorts make it easy and fast to identify and weigh which stocks are the best ones to add to your portfolio. Like the elderly widow, there are many who fear that they will outlive their life savings? They feel forced to use investment advisers because no one has shown them how to invest safely. Ian MacDonald`s book takes away the fear of investing by explaining, the following in easy to understand language: (1) The danger of entrusting your money to an investment adviser whose fees and hidden agenda could drain your savings.(2) Why investing in dividend paying common stock is the safest way for you to invest, as compared to bonds, mutual funds, etc. (3) How to open an online self-directed stock trading account without having to involve bank employees.(4) How to easily find for your portfolio the best twenty stocks for capital gain and the highest dividends.(5) How to find and sort potential stock purchases from best to worse, so you can pick the twenty best and safest.(6) How to verify that stocks have no harmful information attached to them that could potentially be a problem if purchased.(7) How to purchase a stock you have carefully chosen, in less than five minutes.(8) How to quickly and easily monitor your purchased stocks on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis.The stock market is not a casino and what Ian MacDonald teaches is not a get rich quick scheme. It is a logical, easy to understand method of investing. Since implementing his scoring system, his portfolio has grown by 300% while generating a steady ever growing retirement income. He thinks every investor should now know exactly what they are invested in and understand why they are invested in it. Through booming times and recessions there is no reason your self-directed portfolio can not generate a reliable monthly income and grow year-after-year.
