I am pleased to announce the return of PrefInfo.com, my site providing summary information on most (but not all) preferred shares trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The site’s been around for a long time, but when I was horribly ill during the pandemic and there were lots of redemptions and rate changes happening, it just became too much work to do the manual updates to the site coding in any kind of timely way whatsoever. Eventually I faced up to this fact and announced its discontinuance.
Now, however, the site has returned in a new and improved manner! The manual coding has been replaced by a Python script that pulls the required data from the same webservices that are used to provide data (and calculation results) to HIMIPref™ (my analytical software … so the data has to be up to date!). Much more efficient!
Many thanks to Norbert Schlenker of libra investment management who did an excellent job on the coding as well as putting up with my moaning that the site could be improved with just a few minor tweaks here and there …
