Every week I receive questions.  I only answer the ones that interest me. There are only so many hours in a day.

 Having no interest in speculative investing, I ignore the ones asking what stocks are going to show big gains or where is the stock market headed in 2022 or is Tesla still a good stock to buy, etc. The following questions got my attention.

The first question we explore in this podcast is "Why can mutual funds, ETFs and Index funds not perform as well as a carefully chosen portfolio made up of 20 financially strong companies paying high dividends"?

The second question "Suppose you wanted to buy a speculative stock that you stood a good chance of making a great profit or losing all your money.  What would you do"?

The third question, "How did you recover after you lost all your money in the stock market?

The fourth question, 'How can you get over the fear of losing all your money in the stock market and keep on investing"?

On November 17 I loaded my fourth investment book, "American High Dividend Handbook" into Amazon/Kindle.  It makes it even easier for investors to put together a strong dividend portfolio.  No longer do they have to score a stock before seeing the eleven sub-scores that make up a company's grand score.  At a glance,  a company's strengths and weaknesses are laid bare.

In addition, adding historical share prices and dividend payouts in the years 2021, 2016. 2011 and 2001. Gives a good perspective as to the steady growth of these high dividend stocks over two decades.

I have revamped my website, www.saferbetterdividendinvesting.com.  There is more information available on each book, stock scoring and the PowerPoint videos.
