Send us Fan MailWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast # 278 on June 6th of 2026.In this week's podcast I review the foolishness of blindly entrusting your retirement income to an investment advisor. It is your retirement not the investment advisor's.. Since you, not the investment advisor is responsible for your retirement's, you can not naively assume that enough money will be there to maintain the life style you have enjoyed over the decades before retired. You must have a clear picture of what you are invested in and why you are invested in it. Make sure your investments are safe and generating far better investment growth in your portfolio's value.Follow my successful self-directed investment journey after my investment advisor lost $300,000 of my life saving over  20 years ago. All the free information I needed to make good investment decisions is immediately accessible on many good investment data websites. My objective is to show investors how to find and select the the stocks of financially strong companies with long histories of ever increasing shares price and ever growing high dividends. The kind of dependable, growing stocks that they will want to hold for a lifetime. IAN .Ian 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                                   imacd@informus.ca

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast # 277 on May 30th of 2026.In this week's podcast I analyze three stocks that were being promoted . They were "Take Two Interactive Software" (Stock Symbol TTWO) who are the creators of the long established video game "Grand Theft Auto; The century old Honeywell International Inc and a relatively new stock PagSeguro Digital Limited. The promoter for was very aggressive in his selling of their shares of Take Two. However, a quick analysis of the stock made me wonder why? It is interesting to compare it to Honeywell and PagSeguro.

The sound of a rooster in Luke 22 is more than a detail, it is the moment a man realizes he has denied the One he claimed to love. We start there, with Peter's collapse and his bitter weeping, because it names something many of us try to dodge: fear can make us compromise, and sin can feel final. But Peter's story also offers a hard kind of comfort. If God can bring a fallen disciple back, then repentance is still real for us too.From that lens, we talk plainly about Christian marriage and biblical marriage advice. I share why we have to test any counsel we hear, whether it comes from social media, a friend, or even inside church circles, against Scripture itself. Marriages shape families, and families shape the health of a nation, so “good enough” advice is not good enough. If it does not line up with God's Word, we should have the courage to stop listening and return to what's true.We also read and reflect on Psalm 95 and Psalm 96, a call to worship, gratitude, and a softened heart that actually listens “today,” plus Proverbs 14 on honest witness and the poison of deceit. Along the way we remember American valor through a Medal of Honor account, and we challenge the modern slogan version of “separation of church and state” with historical claims about what the founders intended.If you want Scripture shaped thinking for faith, family, and public life, press play.

His responsibilities included managing ten billion dollars in assets.I have encountered many investment advisors but Paul is the first portfolio manager I have met. I was curious whether he would be critical of my emphasis on investing safely in financially strong stocks paying high dividends. His written comments were recorded by me into the dialogue for the podcast.What the podcast is about is how now faced with the sale of a stock where was I going to invest that cash. I have not had to buy or sell a stock in several years. Usually most investors are speculators trying to quickly buy and sell their stock at the earliest opportunity to gain a profit or to avoid a loss.

Investment advisors like to paint high dividend stocks as traps to rob you of your money. I was curious to investigate if I should consider adding some ultra high dividend stocks to my portfolio.  While I have found that most advisors know little about dividend stocks, I was curious to investigate the differences between several ultra high dividend stocks paying a dividend yield percent exceeding 20% to a stock like Citigroup that 15 analysts recommend buying but only pays a dividend yield percent of 2.13%.In this podcast I calculate the IDM stock scores of several ultra high dividend stocks and analyze their risk.

Send us Fan Mail On the early morning hours of January 26th 2023, in Collingwood, Ontario Canada, an employee of the Alpine Ski Club was travelling to work before the sun had come up, and notice an orange hue in the sky just off the side of Arrowhead Road. Up on exiting his vehicle, he noticed that a car had veered down an embankment and was engulfed in flames. After firefighters arrived at the sight, and fought hard to extinguish the fire, they came to the sad realization, that on the passenger floor board were human remains. But, it was also noted that there was footprints in the snow that led away from the vehicle, which would indicate that someone had survived the accident. And, what would follow would be some incredibly impressive investigative work. Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates,  an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

It has created supply chain instability and has polarized countries into being either friends or enemies. Close behind this risk and being used as weapons to subjugate perceived enemy countries are tariffs, sanctions, export controls and restricted access to new technologies. Supply chains have been thrown into disarray and long-established global alliances are being shredded. The flames of retaliatory trade wars between nations are being fanned. In this week's podcast I discuss how to build a stock portfolio that will allow you to safely navigate these turbulent times and protect you from both the threat of inflation and a recession.Ian 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

PTTAC Panel: What Carriers Really Think About Red Seal Certification What do trucking carriers think about the idea of Red Seal certification for professional drivers? At a recent industry event hosted by the Professional Truck Training Alliance of Canada (PTTAC), a panel of trucking carriers shared their thoughts on what standardized certification could mean for fleets, driver recruitment, training, and industry professionalism. In this episode of the Lead Pedal Podcast, we recap the Carrier Perspective Panel on Red Seal certification and highlight the key insights from fleet leaders who deal with driver hiring, training, and safety every day. The discussion explored how a national certification could improve driver standards, create more consistency in training, and potentially strengthen the reputation of trucking as a skilled trade. At the same time, carriers discussed the challenges of implementation, industry alignment, and ensuring that certification reflects real-world experience on the road. If you want to hear how fleets view the future of professional driver certification, this episode offers valuable insight from the people hiring and managing drivers across the industry.

Being a self-directed investor is seen as being a better, safer and more cost-efficient method of investing than placing your portfolio in the hands of an investment advisor. However, what happens when your advanced age eventually makes self-directed management of your investment portfolio no longer possible? One of the listeners to that podcast responded with a good question.  He asked, if you cannot trust investment advisors employed by large financial institutions to manage your stock portfolio then who would you trust to handle your stock portfolio?Until this listener raised this question with me, I had never considered what I would do if my wife and my children predeceased me and I needed someone to manage my affairs if I became incapacitated. I know from experience that I do not trust investment advisors employed by a large financial institution. As well, the lawyers and accountants I have dealt with knew little about commercial risk and judging the potential of stocks.What professional would I then not hesitate to entrust the management of my stock portfolio to? I explain in this podcast that I would choose a trustee in bankruptcy and why I would do so. This would be a fiduciary role independent from their bankruptcy work.Ian 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

The Road to Red Seal: Why Trucking Must Raise the Bar in 2026 The trucking industry is at a turning point, and Red Seal certification for truck drivers is becoming a major topic of discussion across Canada. In this episode, Bruce Outridge shares his perspective on the road to Red Seal and why raising the standards for driver training and certification could help shape a stronger trucking industry in 2026 and beyond. Bruce talks about the importance of experience, professional training, and industry accountability, and how adopting recognized certification standards could improve safety, professionalism, and long-term career opportunities for drivers. If the trucking industry wants to attract the next generation of professional drivers, the conversation around Red Seal certification may be one of the most important steps forward.

Send a textOctober 20, 2021This podcast covers the final five chapters of my first investment book, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed investing".  In it, we explore how 9 information elements are graded to provide a public company's total stock  score. The higher the score, the safer and higher the dividend payments and the more likely the stock will show a capital gain of 9 percent or more in a year.  The highest possible score would be 100 and the lowest would be zero.  Out of the thousands of scores I have calculated, the highest score has been a 78 and the lowest has been a 7. Being able to score and then sort by score, stocks traded on any stock exchange makes it easier for you to build a strong portfolio,  The fact that the stocks in the charts in my books are sorted in descending order by score, price, dividend percent and alphabetically greatly speeds up the process.The following questions are answered in this podcast:(1) If a stock had a share price of $100 how many points would this contribute to its total score?(2) If it was a stock that had not existed 4 years ago, how many points would it contribute to the total score?(3) If five analysts recommended the stock, how many points would this contribute?(4) If a stock was paying dividend yield percent of 8%, how many points would that contribute?(5) If a stock's operating margin exceeded 85%, how many points would that add to the score.(6) If the number of shares trading on average in a day was 9,000 how many points would be added to the score?(7) If the stock were a high-flying technical stock with a price to earnings ratio of 350.1x  how many points would such a high P/E ratio generate?(8) What must you always do after you have identified the 20 stocks in the book you want for your portfolio, and you are now ready to buy?(9) Why are preferred shares not recommended for your portfolio?(10) What industry has the highest scores?In these 32 podcasts I wanted to cover the content of at least one of my investment books  to give those with an interest in investing an idea of what was involved in choosing stocks and building a portfolio. More importantly I wanted you to realize that  with the tools I provide that you are perfectly capable of building a strong dividend portfolio on your own.  If an 80-year-old Miss Innocence can build a strong dividend portfolio, that has grown by hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last 3 years while providing her with a generous income, you also can do it.Next week, I will begin reviewing questions brought to my attention by investors over the last three years.  Some questions in 2020  were projections about stocks being impacted by COVID-19.If you have any questions, please email them to imacd@informus.ca.  I am usually sitting at my desk working on the "American High Dividend Handbook" and I will likely see your message flash across my screen.  It will give me a break from the tedious job of building hundreds of charts.  That book should be available next month.

What if every interaction you have as a leader is silently answering one question for your team: Are you safe to follow? In this episode, I sit down with Alan McLaren, co-founder of Strata Originals, to explore the invisible signals leaders send in every conversation, meeting, and interaction. Alan shares the powerful concept of “leadership signal,” explaining how trust is built or lost in real time based on how leaders show up emotionally, communicate under pressure, and respond to challenges. We discuss the neuroscience behind leadership presence, the hidden questions every team member is asking, and how leaders can become more intentional in building trust both inside the organization and in the digital world. Here are the highlights: • Leadership Signal: Every action, reaction, and tone a leader brings into a room sends signals that either build trust or quietly erode it. • The Four Questions Followers Ask: Team members subconsciously evaluate leaders by asking, “Are you safe to follow? Do you mean what you say? Will your actions match your words? Should I align, resist, wait, or leave?” • Your Nervous System Runs the Room: Leaders often believe communication is about words, but emotional reactions and nervous system responses can shape trust and credibility more than the message itself. • The Hidden Cost of “Meetings After the Meeting”: When leaders unintentionally shut down ideas or create psychological tension, conversations move underground and teams lose alignment. • Leadership Visibility in the Digital Age: Building trust today also requires showing up authentically online, where visibility and genuine communication help leaders connect with future partners, investors, and collaborators. About the guest:  Alan McLaren is a leadership thinker and co-founder of STRATA Originals, a Leadership Signal Architecture firm working with CEOs in high-stakes environments. His work centers on leadership signal, the way a leader's voice, presence, values, perspective, and style are experienced when pressure is real. Alan often says every room is quietly answering four questions about a leader: Are they safe to follow? Do they mean what they say? Will reality match their words? And should I align, resist, wait, or leave? Drawing on patterns seen across hundreds of senior leaders, Alan helps audiences understand why capable leaders can still misfire in critical moments, and what changes when leadership holds steady and trust forms.

For more information on my other books and safe investing go to www.informus.caIn this week's podcast I ask the question, "Can Investment Advisors be Trusted". To  generate enough income to live on an advisor must service and sell a hundred or more investors.  The large financial institutions they work for provide bonuses and other incentives to push the investment advisor to exceed monthly targets. If these objectives are not achieved the investment advisor's job may be terminated. Being an investment advisor is a stressful job. To survive it can result in investment advisors bending the rules. Some financial institution turn a blind eye to practices that are not only shady but pure theft.  Before you turn over your life savings to an investment advisors consider the warnings in this podcast.In my first investment book, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing" I went into detail in how an 80-year-old widow was not only robbed by the investment advisor in one major bank but also by the investment advisor in the second bank she had transferred her investment portfolio to.  Her attempt to  find an honest investment advisor had failed.She then followed my directions and became a successful self-directed investor who was able to  recover the hundreds of thousands she had lost as a full service investor with the two major banks.I have been retired for 20 years and living very well off my investments.

Welcome to episode 325 of Growers Daily! We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan's roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained. We are a Non-Profit! 

Child sexual abuse is far more common than most parents realize: 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused by age 18. But there's hope. In one of the most powerful episodes I've recorded, I sit down with childhood sexual abuse survivor and activist Erin Merryn, who has spent 15 years getting Erin's Law passed in 38 states. This groundbreaking legislation requires K-12 schools to teach personal body safety education - giving children the language and knowledge to "get away and tell today." Erin shares her journey from survivor to advocate, the real reasons some states resist this life-saving education, and the incredible stories of other children whose lives have been changed (and saved) by learning this law. In This Episode: What Erin's Law is and why it's being passed state-by-state across America (and internationally) The difference between "personal body safety education" and sex education Statistics, such as "90% of child sexual abuse is committed by someone the child knows and trusts, NOT strangers" How to access FREE curriculum and resources through the Erin's Law Foundation What parents & supporters can do right now to support this legislation in the remaining 12 states About Erin Merryn: Erin Merryn is an author, activist, and survivor who has dedicated her life to protecting children from sexual abuse. Erin's Law has passed in 38 states, Ontario (Canada), and a state in India. She's currently working on a documentary following her legislative journey, expected to release in 2027.
