Great Intro to Preferreds,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Investing In Preferred Stock: An Introduction For Modern Income Investors (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
The author of this book sets out to do one thing, and he does it very well. If you don't know anything about Preferreds, read some articles online at fool or seeking alpha and you'll learn some of the basic. Then you're ready to dig into this book and you will then know more about preferreds than 95% of other investors. Preferreds are a strange hybrid between stocks and bonds. The author does a great job of giving you the pros and cons of preferred stock investing, and doesn't do any self-promotion.A good primer. You can easily breeze through this in an evening or two, but will keep it close at hand as you start investigating preferreds in more detail.

This review is from: Investing In Preferred Stock: An Introduction For Modern Income Investors (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This book is a very clearly written introduction to the world of preferred stocks. The clear writing style made this short book an easy read for me to quickly learn just how little I knew about this complex investment alternative.
