Podcast 285 - DREAMS OF RICHES, LAMBORGHINIS AND TRADING ON THE BEACH

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast #285 on July 25th of 2026.I keep hearing how 90% of speculative investors within a few years lose the money they have invested in stocks. Often, I have wondered if this is an exaggeration. Surely if the odds in stock speculating were that poor then people would cease speculating. Therefore, I was intrigued to come across an article by a speculator who describes  the misfortunes of six young speculative investors over six years.For over 20 years, the value of my boring portfolio of 20 stocks has grown, year-after-year, while providing me with the very generous ever rising dividend income that I live on. After reading his article, I wrote to its author and he replied. His response gave me some valuable insights into investing which I share with you.Ian Duncan MacDonald Author and Commercial Risk Consultant,President of  Informus Inc                              2 Vista Humber Drive                               Toronto, Ontario                                Canada, M9P 3R7                                 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994                                   [email protected]
