For various arcane reasons, it has become desirable to change the font for PrefLetter.
My hard-working (and much abused) typesetter has proposed five PrefLetter_typeface_ideas that will meet the technical requirements:
Have a look at the five PrefLetter_typeface_ideas and let me know in the comments or by eMail if you have any preference! The change will be effective with the May edition.
The April, 2012, edition of PrefLetter has been released and is now available for purchase as the “Previous edition”. Those who subscribe for a full year receive the “Previous edition” as a bonus.
The April edition contains an appendix discussing retirement withdrawals, long-term equity returns and mean reversion..
PrefLetter may now be purchased by all Canadian residents.
Until further notice, the “Previous Edition” will refer to the April, 2012, issue, while the “Next Edition” will be the May, 2012, issue, scheduled to be prepared as of the close May 11 and eMailed to subscribers prior to market-opening on May 14.
PrefLetter is intended for long term investors seeking issues to buy-and-hold. At least one recommendation from each of the major preferred share sectors is included and discussed.
Note: My verbosity has grown by such leaps and bounds that it is no longer possible to deliver PrefLetter as an eMail attachment – it’s just too big for my software! Instead, I have sent passwords – click on the link in your eMail and your copy will download.
Note: The PrefLetter website has a Subscriber Download Feature. If you have not received your copy, try it!
Note: PrefLetter eMails sometimes runs afoul of spam filters. If you have not received your copy within fifteen minutes of a release notice such as this one, please double check your (company’s) spam filtering policy and your spam repository – there are some hints in the post Sympatico Spam Filters out of Control. If it’s not there, contact me and I’ll get you your copy … somehow!
Note: There have been scattered complaints regarding inability to open PrefLetter in Acrobat Reader, despite my practice of including myself on the subscription list and immediately checking the copy received. I have had the occasional difficulty reading US Government documents, which I was able to resolve by downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Reader. Also, note that so far, all complaints have been from users of Yahoo Mail. Try saving it to disk first, before attempting to open it.
Note: There have been other scattered complaints that double-clicking on the links in the “PrefLetter Download” email results in a message that the password has already been used. I have been able to reproduce this problem in my own eMail software … the problem is double-clicking. What happens is the first click opens the link and the second click finds that the password has already been used and refuses to work properly. So the moral of the story is: Don’t be a dick! Single Click!
The markets have closed and the April edition of PrefLetter is now being prepared.
