Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 276 on May 23rd of 2026.

My name is Ian Duncan MacDonald, and I am the author of 7 investment books. My seventh investment book, Achieving Financial Independence Safely - 200 NYSE Stocks Analyzed and Scored" became available January 3rd on Amazon. You can easily find it by searching in Amazon or Google for "Ian Duncan MacDonald books".

For more information on all my books, stock scoring software and podcasts go to www.informus.ca. In the website you will find a free AI system to analyze and score your proposed stock purchases. A strong portfolio can be built within a few minutes. When I first saw this AI program in action, it made that me realize investment advisors could be replaced by AI technology within ten years.

In this week's podcast I discuss why Nvidia, this week's hot AI stock, and Peter Druker's five highest scoring stocks NYSE stocks ( Master Card, Visa, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson and Coca Cola) do not qualify for my stock portfolio. For safe diversity I want my million dollar portfolio to contain 20 diverse stocks to provide me with a safe income exceeding $60,00 annually with the expectation that their rising share prices and dividend payouts will last my life time. How I will choose these 20 and where to find them is detailed.
