PODCAST 97 Would you now buy Tesla Shares? Will the Market ever recover? 4/Jan/23 Artwork

Safe Dividend Investing

In 2000, I lost $300,000 in mutual funds that an investment advisor had put my lifesavings into.... I lost it because I had entrusted it to an industry that does not educate investors nor encourage them to look closely at what that industry is doing with their money..... I set out to find a better, safer way to invest..... My podcasts relate to what I learned in creating a generous, reliable income and in growing my wealth.... A few of the more important lessons I learned and explore are:.... (1) It is critical that you become a self-directed investor.....(2) If you can not easily measure the risk and potential in an investment, then do not invest in it. This excludes from your portfolio bundled investment devices, like mutual funds, ETFs and Index funds,..... (3) Financially strong companies who have paid “good dividends” for decades will continue to stay strong and continue to pay good dividends because it is both part of their "character" and in their executives selfish interest.....(4) Diversification is critical. Investing equally in the best 20 strong dividend stocks is the ideal.....A portfolio of 20 limits your risk in any one stock to 5% of your wealth..... No matter how strong you think a stock is, do not fall in love with it..... I have lived very well off my steady dividend income for 18 years, through two market crashes and one pandemic. I have watched my portfolio’s capital more than triple from where I started, despite taking out a generous dividend income every year to live on... In charts, for my second investment book,(Safer Better Dividend Investing), I spent months scoring all 628 dividend stocks paying dividends of 6% or greater traded on the TSX, NYSE and the NASDAQ. I discovered dozens of stocks that can provide not only a generous dividend income but outstanding capital growth.....Financial independence is realizable for careful, patient, dividend investors.

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 97, on January 4th of 2023. Today, I will be answering 4 investment questions.

My latest book, "New York Stock Exchange's 106 Best High Dividend Stocks", is now available as both an e-book and print book at amazon.com.

Four Investment Questions:

(1) With Tesla's share price drop, would you consider buying it ?

(2) I have lost money because I did not sell my house early in 2022. How important is timing in the buying of a stock ? If a share price drops I may be able to pick up what is now a $10 stock, paying a $1 annual dividend for only $5, if I wait. This would give me double the dividend income if I invested the same amount of money. According to you dividends remain steady even though share prices fluctuate.

(3) Will the stock market ever recover ?

(4) In the stock market, why can the majority of investors be wrong?
