Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, after an investment adviser lost $300,000 of Ian MacDonald`s money, he took what was left and self-managed it. His investment objective was to build a stock scoring program that would give him an annual dividend income worth 6% of his portfolio, while increasing the value of that portfolio every year by about 9% (his background was in building commercial risk scoring computer programs for the banks and other businesses). He succeeded in his objective. While he had developed that stock scoring program for his own use, in 2019 he used it to help an elderly lady who had suffered a catastrophic financial loss, due to am investment adviser`s greed. After much of her loss had been recovered and her monthly income had doubled, she told Ian MacDonald that he needed to write a book to help people like her who knew little about investing and could easily be taken advantage of . He wrote that book. It is called, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing".He includes that PC stock scoring program with his 300 page book. To further help investors, in the last 100 pages of the book, are charts listing all the companies traded on the TSX that pay a dividend of 3.5% or more. Four sorts of the data in these charts is provided: by score, stock price, dividend percent and by company name. The data sorts make it easy and fast to identify and weigh which stocks are the best ones to add to your portfolio. Like the elderly widow, there are many who fear that they will outlive their life savings? They feel forced to use investment advisers because no one has shown them how to invest safely. Ian MacDonald`s book takes away the fear of investing by explaining, the following in easy to understand language: (1) The danger of entrusting your money to an investment adviser whose fees and hidden agenda could drain your savings.(2) Why investing in dividend paying common stock is the safest way for you to invest, as compared to bonds, mutual funds, etc. (3) How to open an online self-directed stock trading account without having to involve bank employees.(4) How to easily find for your portfolio the best twenty stocks for capital gain and the highest dividends.(5) How to find and sort potential stock purchases from best to worse, so you can pick the twenty best and safest.(6) How to verify that stocks have no harmful information attached to them that could potentially be a problem if purchased.(7) How to purchase a stock you have carefully chosen, in less than five minutes.(8) How to quickly and easily monitor your purchased stocks on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis.The stock market is not a casino and what Ian MacDonald teaches is not a get rich quick scheme. It is a logical, easy to understand method of investing. Since implementing his scoring system, his portfolio has grown by 300% while generating a steady ever growing retirement income. He thinks every investor should now know exactly what they are invested in and understand why they are invested in it. Through booming times and recessions there is no reason your self-directed portfolio can not generate a reliable monthly income and grow year-after-year.

Download or read book The Duly Diligent Stock Investor written by Paul Wagner and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Duly Diligent Stock Investor is a practical, step-by-step guide to investing in stocks as if you were buying a business that you intend to own for a very long time. Long-term investing in fine companies is not the only way to make money but it happens to be the way very rich and famous investor Warren Buffett has made his billions. But how do you know if a company is worthy of your investment? How do you know if becoming a part-owner will help you achieve your financial goals? How do you know you're not putting your money into a company headed for failure? Isn't Wall Street your enemy, just waiting to pick your pocket of all your hard-earned savings? The Duly Diligent Stock Investor gives you the answers and takes the mystery out of investing in stocks. Some books you buy to read. A book like this you buy to use. Granted, there are hundreds of books on the market that address every aspect of investing imaginable, many claiming to be the sure way or the fast way to riches, but The Duly Diligent Stock Investor is different. It's an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand book that walks you through a process called due diligence, leading you to a solid understanding of a company before you invest in it. The author used this process during a 25-year career financing private companies and has successfully refined it over 15 years of personally investing in public companies. He wrote this book so that if you have a $2.99 calculator and access to the internet you can do exactly what he does before he buys stock in a company. You may have been led to believe that only financial advisors and mutual fund managers have the special skills necessary to evaluate a business. You may have heard that it's just too hard for an individual to make his or her own investment decisions. Are you discouraged by those claims or do they challenge you to prove them wrong? Yes, there's some work to being a Duly Diligent Stock Investor, but it's not hard work. Certainly not as hard as completing a New York Times crossword puzzle. By following the steps outlined in this book, you will feel confident in your ability to invest in some of America's finest companies, even if you have never thought of yourself as sophisticated in financial matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storytelling has come of age in the business world. Today, many of the most successful companies use storytelling as a leadership tool. At Nike, all senior executives are designated "corporate storytellers." 3M banned bullet points years ago and replaced them with a process of writing "strategic narratives." Procter Gamble hired Hollywood directors to teach its executives storytelling techniques. Some forward-thinking business schools have even added storytelling courses to their management curriculum. The reason for this is simple: Stories have the ability to engage an audience the way logic and bullet points alone never could. Whether you are trying to communicate a vision, sell an idea, or inspire commitment, storytelling is a powerful business tool that can mean the difference between mediocre results and phenomenal success. Lead with a Story contains both ready-to-use stories and how-to guidance for readers looking to craft their own. Designed for a wide variety of business challenges, the book shows how narrative can help: * Define culture and values * Engender creativity and innovation * Foster collaboration and build relationships * Provide coaching and feedback * Lead change * And more Whether in a speech or a memo, communicated to one person or a thousand, storytelling is an essential skill for success. Complete with examples from companies like Kellogg's, Merrill-Lynch, Procter Gamble, National Car Rental, Wal-Mart, Pizza Hut, and more, this practical resource gives readers the guidance they need to deliver stories to stunning effect.
