Podcast 287 - STRONG STOCKS A SAFE EASY INCOME

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast #287 on August 8th of 2026. Who determines if the stocks in a mutual fund, ETF or Index fund are safe? Could it be that fund managers deliberately bundle hundreds of stocks together to create an illusion of safety that they can hide behind? After my mutual fund lost $300,000 in three years. I sold that mutual fund and set out to learn how to be a successful self-directed investor, relying on my common sense and the wealth of free information that is available on every stock traded on every stock exchange, That was 25 years ago. The portfolio of a few hundred thousand dollars I started with, in my fifties, grew by many multiples. The annual dividend income it generates, which I live on, has grown well into the six figures and is still growing every year. This growth keeps my income well ahead of inflation. I now have zero fear of ever being left penniless. It was not difficult to realize this growth and security. This podcast gives you an over view of how it can be accomplished. You do not have to be a financial genius but you do have to be patient and careful. Once your portfolio of 20 financially strong, high dividend paying stocks is created, you can go for years without ever having a need to make any changes to it. My other 286 podcasts and my books will develop your investment confidence.
