Where Are The Best Opportunities In Preferred Shares? | Seeking Alpha

Where Are The Best Opportunities In Preferred Shares? | Seeking Alpha



This is an excellent article on preferred share CEFs.  I particularly like FFC, and I plan to buy a position Monday morning.  The fund pays more than 8% annually although fees will probably drop the net income to around 7%.  However, this is more income than PFF is paying now, and it is one of the most popular preferred stock funds.  I believe everyone should hold preferred stocks as part of a balanced portfolio.  Also, nobody knows when the general stock market will recover from its most recent decline.  We might as well be paid while we wait.
