In Podcast 57, Ian Duncan MacDonald reads Chapter Four of his latest book, "American High Dividend Handbook". This chapter describes how the following eleven information elements are used to compile a stock's score. 

By using the stock scoring software, that comes with his books, it has proven that you can expect not only an annual  dividend yield in excess of 6% but an annual capital gain in excess of 18%.  Scoring removes the emotional guesswork out of determining which stocks hold the greatest potential. Even during recessions and market crashes, your consistent dividend income will be paid. This allows you to relax and wait for your stocks to again rise to new record highs.

ELEMENT # 1 – CURRENT PRICE OF A STOCK 

ELEMENT # 2 – HISTORICAL PRICE OF A STOCK 

ELEMENT # 3 – A STOCK’S PRICE TREND 

ELEMENT # 4 – A STOCK’S BOOK VALUE 

ELEMENT # 5 – A COMPARISON OF BOOK VALUE TO CURRENT PRICE 

ELEMENT # 6 – NUMBER OF  INVESTMENT ANALYSTS RATING THE      STOCK A BUY 

ELEMENT # 7 – NUMBER OF  INVESTMENT ANALYSTS RATING THE      STOCK A STRONG BUY 

ELEMENT #8 – A STOCK’S DIVIDEND YIELD PERCENT 

ELEMENT #9 – A STOCK’S OPERATING MARGIN 

ELEMENT # 10 – NUMBER OF THE STOCK’S SHARES TRADED DAILY 

ELEMENT # 11 – A STOCK’S PRICE-TO-EARNINGS RATIO 

For a more detailed description of how a stock is scored, it is recommended that you visit the website www.saferbetterdividendinvesting.com or obtain a copy of any of Ian's investment books.

The objective of these podcasts is to turn you into a successful self-directed investor who understands the tremendous benefit of investing in the common shares of financially strong companies paying high dividends.
