Dear Reader,
Common stocks can be a wonderful investment, but the volatility can be astonishing. Pull up almost any popular stock quote, and notice the massive difference between the 52-week low trading price and the 52-week high.
That difference can be simply jaw-dropping.
Sure, it would be wonderful if the movement from low to high happened in smooth steps, but the true ride investors take, is more like a roller coaster.
And that's part of the appeal of preferred stocks: reduced volatility. Preferred stocks rank senior to common stock in a company's capital structure — that means enhanced safety. Combine that with regular income that is often far stronger and steadier.
But approaching the universe of preferred stocks can be daunting.
Preferred Stock Alerts helps you navigate the preferred stock market with confidence. No more digging through SEC filings and out-of-date websites.
Instead, you'll keep up-to-date on new IPOs with timely email alerts. You'll get a heads-up about trading opportunities, with par cross notifications and insider buying alerts.
Our screening tools make it easy to explore our comprehensive database of preferred stocks (and exchange traded debt securities — aka "baby bonds").
Our ten-element preferred stock selection criteria focus on factors such as dividend strength, call protection, and creditworthiness. We do all the work of "scoring" for you, with a handy compliance score given to each preferred stock. This helps you more easily find higher yields at lower risk.
You'll have access to highly useful research resources, including a download of the 300+ page book Preferred Stock Investing (5th Edition). This book teaches the critical 10-element selection criteria for preferreds and baby bonds that form the heart of our service.
Here's everything available to help you build your high-yield portfolio:
For well over a decade, our notification service has offered no free trial period to the public. But right now, we're giving you the opportunity to enjoy a 100% FREE trial for the first 30 days.
That means you can sign up today and take it for a test drive for a full month, after which you will be charged a nominal $29.95 each month for as long as you remain enrolled in the service. You can call or email our New York office to cancel at any time, no questions asked.
