Category: PrefLetter

The markets have closed and the May edition of PrefLetter is now being prepared.

PrefLetter is the monthly newsletter recommending individual issues of preferred shares to subscribers. There is at least one recommendation from every major type of preferred share with investment-grade constituents (two of them recently added); the recommendations are taylored for “buy-and-hold” investors.

Additionally, those taking an annual subscription to PrefLetter receive a discount on attendance at, or later viewing of, my seminars.

PrefLetter is available to residents of Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba as well as Quebec residents registered with their securities commission.

The May issue will be eMailed to clients and available for single-issue purchase with immediate delivery prior to the opening bell on Monday. I will write another post on the weekend advising when the new issue has been uploaded to the server … so watch this space carefully if you intend to order “Next Issue” or “Previous Issue”! Until then, the “Next Issue” is the May Issue.

I am pleased to announce that PrefLetter is now available to residents of Alberta.

Preferred share dividends enjoy a privileged position with respect to taxes in Alberta.

The next edition of PrefLetter will be prepared as of the close on Friday, May 8, and be eMailed to subscribers in PDF format prior to the opening of the Toronto Stock Exchange on May 11.

The April, 2009, 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.

As previously announced, PrefLetter is now available to residents of British Columbia and Manitoba, as well as Ontario and to entities registered with the Quebec Securities Commission.

Until further notice, the “Previous Edition” will refer to the April, 2009, issue, while the “Next Edition” will be the May, 2009, issue, scheduled to be prepared as of the close May 8 and eMailed to subscribers prior to market-opening on May 11. It will make an admirable Mother’s day present!

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: A new enhancement to the PrefLetter website is the Subscriber Download Feature. If you have not received your copy, try it!

Note: Some subscribers will have received two copies of this month’s edition; others will have received their copy as a direct eMail from me. I apologize for this; I experienced a most inopportune software failure.

Note: PrefLetter, being delivered to clients as a large attachment by eMail, 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. 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.

There’s something new on the PrefLetter site: a Subscriber Download facility. Those with an active year’s subscription to PrefLetter can download the previous edition. The primary delivery channel will continue to be eMail and this will not change.
