Preferred and High-Yield Stocks

               Updated 1/29/2024

Showing Income Separately from Price Variation on Total Returns

     January 29, 2024  Low Risk High Yields.pdf

This seven-page paper not only shows income results over the past three years, but has charts showing the comparison of income results to price-alone results.  The picture is dramatic.  I've never seen charts before that contrast income and only price. The paper gives background on reasons why we have shifted so heavily to high-income and away from endeavors to do better than the overall market, or even ride the market. 

Business Processes for Buying and Managing Preferred and Other High-Dividend Stocks

     July 15, 2023  High Dividend Investment Process.pdf

Ever wonder what information to use in picking preferred stocks?  Ever wonder how to organize that information into a selection and management process?  This brief paper provides details, including fields and Excel formulas, on how I go about selecting, buying and then managing high-dividend portfolios.  Of course if you don't want to do it yourself, this gives a picture of what you might be paying me to do...

Considerations in Allocating Between Fixed Income and Price Appreciation

          March 31, 2023   Comparing Yields and Gains.pdf

Transcript of AAII presentation 2-18-2021

A presentation to the Twin Cities Chapter of AAII (American Association of Individual Investors) went awry when as presenter I couldn't get on the Zoom platform, and then couldn't load my visuals from which I planned to give my presentation.  I did give a presentation however, an edited transcript of which is below.

Files for Investment Groups, January 2121

1. For a chance to review locked-in results before going to all the work and risk of creating a preferred portfolio review the Performance Summary for Yield-on-Cost and Yield-to-Call.  The Client Letter for Fourth Quarter 2020 provides further elaboration. Client Letter 2020-Q4.pdf

2.  Some of this is redundant I know, but sometimes coming at things from another angle helps put the pieces together.

3. Doug Le Du's ten criteria in CDx3 for selecting preferred stocks

    Compliance Criteria.pdf

I'd be glad to walk through these individually on Zoom or discuss on the phone. I'd also be glad to show you a recent buy list on Zoom and interpret the criteria used for various risk and tax profiles.  It is easier to create a buy list if you know what it should look like when you get there.
