WHY THE BOOKS WERE WRITTEN
After 50 years of helping banks, insurance companies and suppliers to avoid business losses, Ian MacDonald saw investing in the shares of companies as just another form of commercial risk.
Using the same commercial risk scoring strategies, he built a stock scoring system for himself that would select financially strong companies that would give him a safe, high dividend income.
He knew that dividends were derived from profits and that profits were the result of the wise revenue and expense decisions made by a company''s executives. From profits, dividends are paid. To quickly find financially strong companies he looked for those paying high dividends over many years.
Many of these financially strong companies increased their dividend payouts every year, even during the 2008 and 2020 market crashes (when all share prices had dropped by as much as 50%). His generous dividend income has remained strong and his portfolio has grown by many multiples.
When his friends who had lost money speculating in the stock market and entrusting their money to others asked for help, he showed them how to invest the same way he had. Even an 80-year-old widow quickly learned how to build a strong portfolio and recover the $300,000 that her investment advisor had lost. Her fears of outliving her savings vanished. She pushed Ian to write his investment books to help investors.

REVIEWS OF THE BOOKS
In January of 2023 Ian asked several of his books' readers what impact my books had had upon their investing. These are a few of the replies he received. (Additional reviews can be read on the Amazon site) :
COMMENTS FROM THE BOOKS' READERS
...Your advice has really put me on a good path financially. I'm just on autopilot investing weekly in my brokerage accounts and letting my Roth IRA dividend portfolio grow .
...I have taken your advice from 2021, as you may be aware.Before retiring early (which I finally did some weeks ago) (I am still doing a little extra work two days a week) I wanted to see how much I would yield from my dividends. I ended up making about $77K which of course would then be taxed 15%, so I am certainly able to live off the proceeds.So I decided to do just that. Find attached my recent scores in all 10 variables along with the final score for my 20 stock.I was very pleased with my dividends. All stock gave me a range of dividend percent ranging from 5 to over 10%.
...My dividend portfilio went down approximately 4.9% but my dividends were up 10.95%. A good portion of my last year’s price reduction has been offset by growth this year - to the tune of about half. I think too many people think about years in isolation - that is last year was bad. They think in absolutes like I lost $$$$ not paper losses.
...I have been using a passive investment system since I read two of your books. I am now retired and live only on the dividend income with no need to draw from the principle. The last few years the stock prices have been down but it is no longer a concern as I own good quality stocks that have a long history of paying consistent dividends.
...I have benefitted from your books, so a big THANK YOU.
2022 has been okay for me, I'm down about 4% so no worries, the dividends just keep on rolling and the market will recover one day.
... I've downloaded your previous books and found them very useful. I'm from the UK and the concepts have helped me to pick the stocks I want to invest in. Your stock scoring software has helped me a lot.

BEWARE THE ABANDONED
A New Mexico based , capitalist sect recruits gifted, abandoned street children around the world. They shape them into wealthy entrepreneurs who are loyal to the sect. A portion of these entrepreneur's wealth is forwarded to the sect for the rest of their lives.
John Cross, was one of these abandoned children. He was on a mission to recruit French street children just as he had been recruited. One step ahead of the Paris police, he returns "home" to New Mexico for reassignment.
Soon, he is again on the run. Cleverly keeping ahead of the FBI and the mob who are in hot pursuit.
DUEL
With the decline of communism, the United States lost interest in the Caribbean. The People's Republic of China has stepped in and filled the void of abandoned US foreign aid
All hell breaks loose when the Chinese plan a permanent presence in the Caribbean. They are about to lease a long abandoned British naval base on the island nation of St. Matts. The junior senator from Texas sees this as a direct attack on the United States and calls for massive retaliation.
USING DROUGHT USA
An ever diminishing fresh water supply in the US South West could destroy the economies of California, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona. The President needs the votes in those four states.
Could the United States solve its South West water problem by redirecting Canadian water to where it is needed by 80,000,000 Americans? Could war breakout between the two countries?
