    Send us a text

    Welcome to Podcast 195 on November 16th of 2024.

    In today's podcast in addition to the one US stock and one Canadian stock that stood out this week for their significant share price gain I was moved to write an essay on what you are really investing in, which has little to do with charts and what fund managers are choosing for you. No one is going to care as much about your invested money as you do. It is important that you do some basic analysis before purchasing any investment being recommended to you.

    Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 193 on all on November 2nd of 2024.
    After doing 190 podcasts I thought it was time for a change. This podcast will no longer be dedicated to answering new investment questions. However, you will be able to find answers to hundreds of questions answered in the previous 190 podcasts.

    What is different, is that every weekend I will now scan through thousands of stocks and bring to your attention one U.S. stock and one Canadian stock that appears to be stronger and stand out from all the other stocks showing a significant gain in share price in the previous 5 trading days. I will score these two stocks and provide you with their sub scores and Grand Score. Visit the attached transcript for each Podcast to see the scoring matrix for these two stocks.
