In this podcast, I answer two emails from Paul.  He has read my latest book "American High Dividend Handbook" and followed its advice in how to prepare a portfolio of financially strong stocks paying high dividends.  He intends to retire in four years and is counting on this portfolio providing he and his wife with a generous, safe income. Paul poses some excellent questions, which I answer. These answers,  raise other questions in a second email that I also answer.

While people may listen to my podcasts and believe they are getting good advice, I think it is important for them to hear from an objective third party who has applied the strategies, used the software, and built a strong, dividend portfolio based on the book. His insights into what he experienced over forty years of investing are intriguing.

The answers in this correspondence deal with important concerns like the following:

(1)  What criteria should be taken into consideration in selling a stock?
(2) Should you keep on investing all your dividends until you retire?
(3) How frequently do you review a portfolio and re-score stocks?
(4) When is a stock a bargain?
(5) Why is experiencing a major loss with a financially strong dividend company unlikely?
(6) How can dividend payments be triple  in 10 years ago but still pay the same 3.5% yield.
(7) What is the "repulsive" advice Investment advisors give those saving for retirement?
(8) How can a stock lose 50% of its share value and increase its dividend payout?
(9) Why is it important to aim for a portfolio of no more than and no less than  20 stocks?
(10) Would my spouse be able to easily manage our portfolio if something happened to me?

For more information on my investment books go to
               www.saferbetterdividendinvesting.com. 
All my books are available as e-books or print books at amazon.com. In searching for them  in amazon just enter my full name "Ian Duncan MacDonald" and all 7 will appear.

The two latest books containing the most up-to-date investment information are "American High Dividend Handbook" and "Canadian High Dividend Handbook".  Both books are easy to comprehend and come with stock scoring software that is available upon request.
