I am pleased to report that PrefInfo.com has been included in Rob Carrick’s list of 13 websites that can make you a better investor:
PrefInfo.com
Clearly, preferred shares have some appeal right now because of their comparatively high yields. Problem is, they can be a trap for investors who aren’t wise to their many terms and conditions. PrefInfo, maintained by the preferred share specialist James Hymas, is like an online catalogue of preferred share issues that contains pertinent details like the annual dividend amount, maturity and retraction dates, and more.
Some of the entries include hyperlinks to posts from Mr. Hyman’s PrefBlog, where he keeps a running commentary on the preferred share market.
I am not surprised James, I have been a regular visitor and have found your insights and commnetary invaluable.
Thank you
Mike
Ditto to the previous comment. When I started rebuilding my pref. share positions in 2010, prefblog and prefinfo were my must visit sites before each purchase. Because of the uniqueness and intricacies of each series, not a lot of people are qualified to talk about them. An example is when I phoned by broker to convert my BCE.PA to BCE.PB after reading and agreeing to your piece, the broker asked me the difference between the two series, because another client of his asked him and he couldn’t answer. Thanks for all the info you provide.
