Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 251, on November 29th of 2025.  My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am an author of six investment books.

 Today is a very quick podcast. I am trying to finish up my latest book before Christmas. It is called “Achieving Financial Independence From 180 High Dividend NYSE stocks - Analyzed and Scored”. Over the last 7 months It has taken up much more of my time than I had expected. However, the end is in sight, and I think it will be of great assistance to anyone trying to build a portfolio of financially strong, high dividend, income stocks.

I did have time this week to watch a recent lecture by Warren Buffet on YouTube. It is not often you get insights into the pluses and minuses of bit coins, investment bubbles, and why value investing works, from an outstanding investor with 70 years of investment experience. I think anyone who listens to this video will come away as I did much wiser and better informed. The lecture has a terrible title to get your attention “Bitcoin is going to zero”.  It was easily found on YouTube. I strongly recommend listening to it. 

Hopefully I will soon finish the job of launching my new 340-page book. My plan is to have a preliminary release of the book at a reduced price. If you wish to be informed of this preliminary release, please email me at [email protected].

This is Ian MacDonald hoping my 250 podcasts have motivated you to pursue financial independence as a self-directed investor. Visit my website www.informus.ca if you wish to learn more about me and my books.
