» TLLewis - Preferred Stocks for income
I have been successful, for the most part, in investing in Preferred Stocks for income purposes and have found many that will give a return of 7% or more, with little change in the price of the stock. However, they are very hard to find on the internet or other publications (unless high priced subscriptions. I am new to this site, but would like to suggest we share ideas on Preferred stock and also sources of research. Thanks-- posted by TLLewis

In response to TLLewis. I'm also interested in preferred stocks and in getting some ideas as to which ones are good for investments. I recently found this web site www.quantumonline.com with a list of preferred stocks that is free. You may find it interesting. If you care to share which ones you have bought, my e-mail is makalunga001@aol.com.Good luck on your investments

In response to message posted by TLLewis:I too have been successful so far with preferred stocks. I have several, and am contemplating whether to contact my broker today to see if any are available, or whether I should purchase a tax-free bond instead.
I am not too savvy in this game, but am always learning.

In response to message posted by Arianne377:I recently bought Preferred Income Fund (PFO) which yields 7.7%. Unfortunately I bought near its high, and it has backed off since, but that probably represents a decent buy-in level. You'll be better off with diversification through buying the fund rather than individual companies.
