In this podcast I walk you through the process of purchasing a stock in bank's self-directed investment service.  It is easier than you would expect and almost impossible to make a mistake.  The following are some of the questions that will be answered.

 1.  Are minority shareholders fully represented at a companies annual meeting?

2. Which government department makes sure investment dealers and public companies obey investment laws?

3. What is "the big stick" that keeps public companies in line with the investment laws.

4. Why can you not buy more stocks than you have money to pay for?

5. Why would you choose to limit your purchase price for a stock instead of paying the existing market price?

6. What can you do if the price you bid for the stock is not accepted by a seller of the stock?

7. What can you do if you made an error in entering your order for a stock?

8. When do you know your bid for the stock was successful?

9. How do you receive official confirmation that you now own the stock?

10. What happens if you put in a bid higher than the stock's current market price?

On September 1, 2021, my latest book "Canadian High Dividend Handbook" became available at amazon.com. It contains detailed information on all Canadian stocks paying a dividend of 3.5% or more.  Each stock displays scores calculated in May 2019, 2020 and 2021.

By the end of 2021, "American High Dividend Handbook" will be released with  scores and detailed information on US stocks paying dividends of 3.5%.  In December 2020 my book "Safer Better Dividend Investing" was released with scored data on all 628 US stocks paying dividends of 6.00% or more.

All those who buy any of my investment books can request the stock scoring software that was used to calculate the scores in all the books.  This allows them to calculate the most current score of any stock.
