Safe Dividend Investing

Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 163 on April 11th of 2024.
Today, I will be answering 3 interesting investment question.
QUESTION (1)
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHETHER A FINANCIAL ADVISOR HAS INVESTED YOUR MONEY WISELY?

In Podcast #154, I announced a contest to select 20 stocks using $200,000 in “play money” that will generate the most capital gain and most dividend income over 12 months. While this contest was created as a learning exercise for those who have been hesitant about investing in the stock market, it is open to anyone who wants to test their investment skills. To make it a bit more captivating, the winner will receive $100 as an incentive.
