Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 284 on July 18th of 2026.

Many investors believe we are living through a stressful time. Although our investments may have reached all time highs the future of our stock portfolios no longer seem to be as safe and secure as they were a few years ago.

Was the 25% drop in the value of IBM shares in one day, earlier this week, an unusual exception, or could International Business Machines be the first sign of a coming stock market crash? One that is bring triggered by inflated AI stock prices and the world wide turmoil caused by oil insecurity, wars and threatened invasions?

International Business Machines: "Wall Street views the century-old tech giant as a prominent enterprise AI players, heavily focused on integrating artificial intelligence into hybrid cloud solutions, consulting services included along with data management".

In this podcast I review IBM's historical and current situation while suggesting an investment strategy that can help you weather the storm of a the next stock market crash.
