Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 271 on April 18th 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 this week's podcast I explore stock scoring. This is objectively measuring the benefits and risks of mathematically comparing one stock with another. There are about 14,000 stocks in North America that you could purchase. Is it possible to select and score all these stocks and narrow you stock purchase down to 20 that are going to give you the best return on your investment over six years?

To prove that stock scoring works I go back to 2020 when I released my book, "Safer Better Dividend Investing". How did the 20 highest scoring stocks identified in that book do over the last six years. You may be surprised.
