Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 162 on April 4th of 2024.  Today, I will be answering 3 interesting investment question. QUESTION (1) WHAT SHOULD I DO TO MINIMIZE THE  POSSIBILITY OF BEING STOCK SCAMMED?  QUESTION (2) IS IT BEST TO BUY A STOCK WHEN IT IS CHEAP, WAIT FOR IT TO INCREASE, SELL IT  AND THEN WAIT FOR ITS SHARE PRICE TO DROP AND THEN BUY AND SELL IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN?  QUESTION (3) WHAT ARE THE BEST INDUSTRIES TO BUY STOCKS IN THAT WILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY? 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.   SIX INVESTMENT BOOKS, BY IAN DUNCAN MACDONALD, ARE AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON.COM  KINDLE BOOKS, THE FOLLOWING ARE THE 2 LATEST: (1) CANADIAN HIGH DIVIDEND INVESTING - In this 325-page book, learn how to select, purchase and build a portfolio of 20 Canadian strong dividend stocks.
