    Welcome to Podcast 221 of Safe Dividend Investing on May 10th of 2025.

    Be sure to visit the written transcript attached this podcast to find more information on each stock that was scored.

    You may also want to visit Podcast 210 where in that printed transcript, you will find Chapter 4 from my investment guidebooks. It explains, in easily understood language, how and why the IDM stock scoring system works. The IDM stock scoring software that I provide to those who purchase my investment guide books is derived from this chapter. The software makes scoring stocks faster and easier.

    The first 190 Safe Dividend Investing podcasts answered hundreds of questions about stocks that I had received from my listeners and readers. Starting with Podcast 191 the the weekly podcasts have dealt with identifying those 10 dividend stocks who that week had exceptional share price growth on the New York or Toronto stock exchanges. Their quick growth may make them worth considering as possible portfolio acquisitions.

    At www.informus.ca for information you can learn more about the benefits of my six investment guide books: Income and Wealth from Self-directed Investing, New York Stock Exchange's 106 Best High Dividend Stocks, Canadian High Dividend Handbook, American High Dividend Handbook, Safer Better Dividend Investing and Canadian High Dividend Investing. All books are immediately available at Amazon.com as e-books or within a day or two as print books. The books save you many hours in building an effective portfolio of financially strong companies paying high dividends.


    Direct any questions about the books or the scoring software to imacd@informus.ca
