Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 249- (November 15, 2025)When you ask someone's advice in choosing a stock are you subconsciously looking for someone, other than yourself, to blame if the stock loses money?You are perfectly capable of doing some simple, easy analysis to determine the strength and potential of a stock. In this podcast I walk you through the process. It is not difficult and takes minutes not hours to do. Two stock multi billion dollar companies UPS and FDX are used to illustrate the procedures. Rely on your own analysis and know exactly why the stock you chose was based on factual not hearsay information or stock tips. I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show  investors  an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends .  I have been successfully investing this way for more than twenty years . My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing six figure income but over time has continued to increase the value of my portfolio by multiples multiples. This conflicts with what I was told by investment who told me my portfolio would gradually shrink as the years went by.Unlike mutual funds and index 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 each stock in the portfolio that they created. They can escape the mundane returns and high fees inherent in owning funds.For more information on self-directed investing go to my website www.informus.ca or  listen to the previous 248 weekly podcasts. The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you. Some of the remainder give you an opportunity to practice choosing stocks and introduce new relevant topicsIan Duncan MacDonald Author and Commercial Risk Consultant,President of Informus Inc 2 Vista Humber Drive Toronto, Ontario Canada, M9P 3R7 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994 New York Telephone - 929-800-2397 imacd@informus.ca

Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 248- (November 8,  2025)This week's podcast was motivated by a question from one of my book readers. He asked why I was so sure there would be a market crash in the next two years. I am old enough to remember very clearly the hype and hectic days prior to the dot com stock market crash in 2000. The internet was then going to be the next big thing. Investors would all get rich if they invested in companies that had dot com in their make up. AI is now the next big thing. However, as I point out in my podcast, everything that glitters is not gold and AI brings problems with that need to be resolved.Looking closely at the major AI stocks you can see that they are speculative investments. While it is advantageous to have a small percentage of your stocks in speculative stocks to hopefully grow your portfolio's value, you are advised to be very careful.I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show  investors  an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends .  I have been successfully investing this way for more than twenty years . My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing source of income but over time has increase the value of my portfolio by several multiples.Unlike mutual funds and index 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 each stock in the portfolio that they created.

Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 247- (November 1,  2025)This week's podcast is in response to a question from one of my listeners. He was concerned that one of his, what he thought was a strong stock, had lost fifty percent of its share price value almost overnight. Yes, even strong stocks can have sudden unexpected drops in their share price. This does not mean that you need to panic and immediately discard the stock. It means that you have to look closely at the history of the stock and its potential. Changes the company may have made that caused the drop in share price many actually strengthen the company in the years to come.  This may actually be an opportunity to buy more of the stock at a low price. I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show  investors  an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends .  I have been successfully investing this way for twenty years .My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing source of income but over time has increase the value of my portfolio by several multiples.Unlike mutual funds and index 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 each stock in the portfolio that they created.

Send us a textWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast 246- (25 October 2025) As I continue to score and analyze stocks for my next investment book the loss at The Kraft Heinz Company (stock symbol KHC) caught my interest. KHC was a merger formed in 2015 and will cease to exist in 2026 when it is again split into two companies. It is currently the 5th largest food company in the world. When Warren Buffett, who is recognized to be the most successful stock investor in the world, invested $3.76 Billion dollars of Berkshire Hathaway's money Kraft Heinz he was sure it would provide a generous return. Berkshire have now lost $2.63 billion in this venture. There are lessons for you to learn from this loss. Perhaps the biggest is do your own basic research and do not accept that anyone can accurately predict future share prices.In this podcast (with a written transcript attached) you can get an understanding of why the stock scoring software supplied with my books makes it easy to identify and sort the strength of the kind of stocks you wish to acquire for your portfolio. I write my investment books for those who fear that they will lose their life savings by investing in the stock market My books show  investors  an easy, safe way to select financially strong, safe, growing companies who pay high dividends .  I have been successfully investing this way for twenty years .My portfolio of strong dividend stocks not only provides me with a reliable, growing source of income but over time has increase the value of my portfolio by several multiples.Unlike mutual funds and index 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 each stock in the portfolio that they created.

Send us a textWelcome 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.

How is intelligence defined? If you define it as learning and applying knowledge, then slime molds are intelligent. How did scientists determine this? How is a single celled organism with no brain or sensory organs able to experience its world and learn from it? Dr. Nirosha Murugan from Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario Canada wanders with us to discuss research about slime mold intelligence, and maybe even a cyborg future. This may be Brandon's favorite episode ever!

PROJECT AUDION 72: Jimmy Durante - Garry Moore Show Jimmy Durante: so famous for so many decades that just a caricature of his face was enough to elicit a smile. His outsized "Schnozz" matched the outsized personality from the 1920s through the 1970s. Even today, when his name and face are no longer common currency, his catchphrases and songs have endured. You can hear Durante singing in the "Joker" movie of 2019, imitated in lines from the "Lion King," and showing up every year in animated Christmas specials.  In this Audion Original, Pete Lutz revisits this unique talent, imagining a 1940s episode of the Jimmy Durante Comedy Caravan with his on-air partner Garry Moore, and guest stars Sydney Greenstreet and Rose Marie. "Everyone wants ta' get inta de act!" and they do for a half hour of mirth and music. Pete Lutz, in Texas, as Jimmy Durante Bob Beaumont, in California, as Garry Moore Scott McKinley, in New Jersey, as Sidney Greenstreet Jessica Matthews, in Texas, as Rose Marie Laura Mirsky in New Jersey, as Vera Vague Sheree Whichard, in New York, as Florence Halop Trevor Rines, in Ontario Canada, as Candy Candido Andy Hartson-Bowyer, in Virginia, as Verne Smith Written and directed by Pete Lutz Produced by Larry Groebe in Texas

20 years of career experience. A Retired Fire Chief in the Ontario Canada region. Once he retired became a TI Specialist for Bullard setting to retire with them as well after 20 years. My discussion with Manfred may not be as alluring or sexy with Firefighters but there is no denying how Thermal Imaging Technology is probably one of the most under trained areas within the fire service. A lack of proper thermal imaging training in fire departments can lead to firefighters misinterpreting images, over-relying on the technology, and potentially increasing the risk of injury or death. Many departments don't provide enough training, and even when training is offered, it often lacks live fire scenarios and fails to address the limitations and inaccuracies of thermal imagers. My hope is the listeners can gain a bit of knowledge towards TIC's, take it back and start having conversations with their respective crews or department.
