Welcome 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. 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 245 weekly podcasts. The first 160 podcasts are devoted to answering questions from investors just like you. The remainder give you an opportunity to practice choosing stocks and introduce new relevant topics.
