COMMENTS BY THE INVESTMENT BOOK 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 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. All stocks gave me a range of dividend percent ranging from 5 to over 10%."
"...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'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."

A reader wrote, "....I just finished this thriller book, Beware the Abandoned. I could not stop reading it. Last night I finished it and went to bed at 4 a.m. What a great book. You really have done your research and it is almost scary how much you know and how you planned his escape. PLEASE, PLEASE, I need a second book. We now need to know how John C. is going to carry on".

THE FIFTY-FIRST STATE - A LOST ALLIANCE
FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT Ian Duncan MacDonald president INFORMUS INC 2 Vista Humber Drive Toronto, Ontario Canada, M9P 3R7 imacd@informus.ca www.informus.ca Toronto Tel. 416-245-4994 IAN'S BACKGROUND Ian Duncan MacDonald, spent 38 enjoyable years working as a senior executive for commercial risk information industry with companies like Equifax, Dun & Bradstreet and Creditel. His job was to build decision risk systems for banks, insurance companies, manufacturers and wholesalers. These scoring systems sorted millions of businesses from highest to lowest risk to help protect his customers from making catastrophic risk decisions. Shortly after Ian retired, he fired his financial advisor, who had invested all his retirement savings in mutual funds that had lost $300,000 in three years. After opening his self-directed investment account he set out to find and invest only in the stocks of financially strong, growing companies paying high safe dividends. Very quickly he recognized that assessing stocks was just another form of commercial risk. This inspired him to build stock scoring software for himself like the commercial risk software he had previously built for large major corporations. His new stock software allowed him to easily and quickly build a strong, safe, stock portfolio that has never stopped growing. Over the last two decades, that portfolio has supplied him with a generous, reliable dividend income that he lives on while increasing the value of his original portfolio by several multiples. Friends aware of his investment success, who had also suffered investment losses, asked him for help. Ian gave them his stock scoring software and spent hours showing them how he invested. Wanting Ian’s teachings in writing so they could pass it on to friends and family, they urged him to write a book. This resulted in his first investment book, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing". Questions that were not answered in that first book were tackled in his next six investment books which were "Safer Better Dividend Investing", "American High Dividend Handbook", "Canadian High Dividend Handbook", "New York Stock Exchange's 106 Best High Dividend Stocks - Analyzed & Scored", "Canadian High Dividend Investing - 215 Scored Stocks" and “Achieving Financial Independence Safely – 200 NYSE Stocks Analyzed and Score”. Each book while different, stresses the fundamentals and includes new data to make good stock selection easier. All book buyers also receive the stock scoring software free of charge. In 2021, to help reach more self-directed investors, he created a free weekly podcast called "Safe Dividend Investing". 300 of these 20-minute weekly podcasts are available They address questions raised by listeners and cover investment topics that give investors direction and insight into opportunities and risks. The distributors providing free access to the podcasts include Amazon, Apple and Buzzsprout. Each week’s segment is accompanied by a written transcript of the podcast. Prior to writing the investment books, Ian had written three exciting, political, action novels, "Duel" , "The Fifty-First State – A Lost Alliance” and "Beware the Abandoned". He is also a life-long artist with over 2,300 of his paintings, photographs and digital art on display at the Fine Art America web site. ART For all his life Ian MacDonald has been an artist.
