Podcast 7I, makes it clear that investment advisors are not your friends. It describes the unethical behavior that the 80-year-old,  Miss Innocence, encountered trying to open a self-directed trading account.  This is in an excerpt  read by the author, Ian MacDonald   from  Chapter Four of his first Investment Book "Income and Wealth From Self-Directed Investing".  In the podcast, he also answers the following 5 questions received in the last week.

(1) Would you invest in a company who was paying out a dividend greater than its total earnings ?

(2) Which is a better, safer investment, an ETF or the common stock of a company ?

(3) How can company profits be soaring when stock prices are down?

(4) If you were given one million dollars to invest in a single stock for 2 months, what stock would you choose?

(5) Why does a 60% and 40% bonds split portfolio, no longer protect investors from volatility ?

The objective of these podcasts is to turn all investors into successful self-directed investors who are shown how financial independence can be achieved by investing in the common shares of financially strong companies paying high dividends.
