Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 97, on January 4th of 2023.  Today, I will be answering 4 investment questions.

My latest book, "New York Stock Exchange's 106 Best High Dividend Stocks", is now available as both an e-book and print book at amazon.com.

Four Investment Questions:

(1) With Tesla's share price drop, would you consider buying it ?

(2) I have lost money because I did not sell my house early in 2022.  How important is timing in the buying of a stock ? If a share price drops I may be able to pick up what is now a $10 stock, paying a $1 annual dividend for only $5, if I wait. This would give me double the dividend income if I invested the same amount of money. According to you dividends remain steady even though share prices fluctuate.

 (3)  Will the stock market ever recover ?

(4)  In the stock market, why can the majority of investors be wrong?
