Ian Duncan MacDonald's first investment book "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing" introduced investors to the following formula for investment success, "Build your portfolio with the 20 stocks of financially strong companies from diversified industries paying a dividend of 6% or greater". Not only can such a portfolio deliver a safe annual dividend income of 6% or more but such a portfolio can grow by several multiples over the years. The 2008 and 2020 recessions have proven that dividends from strong companies get paid even during recessions and pandemics.

In his second investment book "Safer Better Dividend Investing" Ian not only shows investors how to find 20 stocks for their portfolios but he makes it easy by listing and scoring all 628 U.S. common stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ that were paying a dividend of 6% or more in August of 2020. He also includes 199 Canadian stocks traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange paying a dividend of 3.5% or more. The strength and potential of each stock is established in the score applied to each stocks, They are listed alphabetically, by descending score, by descending share price and by descending dividend percentage.

Over the last year, Ian has answered hundreds of interesting questions from investors. He now shares 128 questions and his answers in the new book. Questions like:
How does the Great Depression 1929 compare to the 2020 recession?
Why do so many investors not trust investment advisors?
Do you see Tesla as an overpriced stock?
Is it too late to start investing at 35?
What are some lies stockbrokers tell themselves?

Many investors hesitate to buy stocks because they do not understand how to identify a financially strong company. The first chapters of the book explain in easy, to understand language, the importance of the eight key information items Ian used to build his stock scoring system. The eight critical items are:(1) A stock's current price.(2) A stock's historical prices.(3) A stock's current "book" value.(4) How analysts rate the stock.(5) A stock's dividend yield percent.(6) A stock's operating margin.(7) A stock's average daily volume of shares traded.(8) A stock’s price-too-earnings ratio. The detailed stock scoring matrix is provided so that the scores can be easily understood.

The compilation for the Canadian charts was done in May of 2020. The same compilation was done in May of 2019 for the first book. The stock scores from both years are now displayed side-by-side in the new book for trend purposes. About 20% of the stocks that appeared in 2019 no longer qualify. Many stocks have now qualified for listing in the charts for the first time.

Recognizing that this book will become a handy quick reference for any investor seeking the best dividend stocks to add to their portfolios, Ian has constructed the index for the book in such a way as to make it easy to find explanations for common investor concerns and questions.
