Attractive Preferred Stocks for a Volatile Market [View article]
Tartal:
Yes, good catch on 2007/2008. It is 2008 that should be there. Still new to 2008 on check and obviously tables. I agree that the financials seem to rule this area and that is a concern. Yet what is very interesting is the fact that even though many of these have bounced around do the past few months, they have recently stabilized. In fact, even on the day of slaughter (aka 1/8/08) many of these were unaffected or went up.
Analises_Dad: Also, agree that quantumonline.com is great site for preferreds.
And to the points of Guest32224, yes, these are to be thought of as fixed income with the ability to trade in and out via the market. There may be some that have extraneous provisions, that is why you need to read the fine print with any fixed income and dividend paying investment.

NO to new issues again my friend. Learned a hard lesson, which your name brand broker will never tell you. NO NO NO!
The rebound happened.. Try to buy discounts in the future....Not line the pockets of the broker...
