NO ONE CARES AS MUCH ABOUT YOUR MONEY AS YOU DO!To build a strong, safe, stock portfolio that will grow for the rest of your life and provide you with a generous monthly income, there is no need to entrust your life savings to an investment advisor. The 2% to 4% in advisor fees, charges and commissions will drain hundreds of thousands of dollars from your portfolio whether that portfolio grows or not.
The secret of building a strong, generous portfolio is to keep it simple. This means investing equally in 20 financially strong companies paying high dividends with long histories of share price increases and increasing dividend payouts. Dividends are the quickest way to identify potentially strong companies. Scoring such stocks allows you to sort them from most to least desirable.
Although readers are shown how to score stocks manually, the stock scoring software that is used throughout the book is provided on request, to those purchasing the book to make scoring even easier and faster. To further assist you, the book has identified, scored and analyzed the best 106 dividend stocks out of the 2,788 stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
In a 2 page analysis of each stock, at a glance, you can compare each stock's strength: average volumes traded, operating margins, book values, dividend yield percent, price-to-earnings and of course their composite scores. Share prices and dividend payouts are supplied for each year back to 1999. You can easily see how these strong companies were minimally impacted by the stock market crashes of 2000, 2008 and 2020. Many continued to increase their dividend payouts through these crashes.
While it is impossible to accurately predict future share prices, it is far easier to predict future dividend payouts. Fluctuating share prices that are a result of competitive bidding between positive speculators and negative speculators reacting to media hype, rumors and investment promotions. Dividends are derived from profits. Profits are the result of the wise revenue and expense decisions made by company executives. While profits can influence speculators. Speculators do not control profits.
The book shows you how to choose the best 20 stocks whose dividends can average a return of 6% and, in most years, grow the portfolio's capital value by 12% or more. If you invest your annual dividend income you can expect to double the value of your portfolio within five years.
Each of Ian's books have been an evolution in making it easier for both investors unfamiliar with investing to achieve safe financial independence and for experienced investors to quickly choose strong dividend stocks for their existing portfolios.

Title: Worthy to read and great insight
Review: The book has significant insights of safe investment strategies. Specifically, stocks rating matrix by using multiple marketnand company data are interesting to evaluate when you look for buying a particular stock. If he would be able to incorporate beta, CAGR, and few other matrix, it would be much more scientific approach as well. However, in overall, it is a book you must read when forming your investment strategy. I recommend reading this book.

Title: This one came read cover to cover
Review: I have been following Ian and his investment strategy for 6 months and even as rough as the market has been my dividends keep coming in and I reinvest them, allowing me to purchase more stock shares at a reduced rate thus adding to the next dividend amount. I cannot wait to get this so I can see what additional information I can gain. I love the podcasts too! Reinforcement on the principles and great Q&A!UPDATE!I read this one cover to cover in a few hours. Ian does an excellent job covering the material and his examples allowed me to verify I was on the right track evauating stocks. I hope he has another book or two coming in the near future.

Title: too many reit's and energy stocks with special tax situations
Review: There are better dividend books. Skeptical of how he rates stocks. In my opinion, there is no consideration for safety in the ratings.

Title: Did Not send advertised Software
Review: Update: I did finally receive the software after multiple requests using different methods of communication.Original post:The book, NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE'S 106 BEST HIGH DIVIDEND STOCKS, advertises you can email them to receive the advertised stock scoring software (with purchase of book).I requested the software using the address they provided and did NOT receive a response. I checked my junk mail and it did not go there either. So a few days later sent another email requesting the software and again nothing.Do NOT purchase this book expecting to be able to send for this software. You will NOT receive it.

Title: A simple foundation to get started and grow confidence along the way
Review: I purchased Ian's "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing" along with this book. The first book is a little more personal, conversational and introductory - you see where MacDonald is coming from in terms of helping friends out who have been burned as well as he himself, even after working and saving and entrusting so much.This book gets to the technical method more quickly and lays out enough information that you can calculate and begin to understand otherwise potentially foreign things yourself. I decided to reverse engineer his methods in Google Sheets and after reading some Reddit threads and searching some YouTube videos I did some very novice site scrapes and was able to apply his 11 categories on the fly.I'm only getting started on his method so I can't say what returns have been yet, but this book equipped me to feel confident that I at least understand the method I'm applying. My hope is that I will continue to learn along the way and as I understand it better and get older I will be able to be more and more serious and can share the same 'aha's with my children and others around me.As mentioned in the book, don't just copy down the symbols or the scores - they will have already changed. You will be MUCH more confident if you take some extra time to try to construct it yourself. Think about it - you've taken the time to commandeer your own investing and your own money. You owe it to yourself to know the basics of what you're doing - and MacDonald gives you a method where you can get started and begin to learn just that.
