很多PREFERRED SHARE,在市场波动的时候价格基本不动,并一直保持正值。这在于对PREFERRED SHARE的选择,就跟做股票一样,做股票赔钱做的不好,不能就笼统的说股票不赚钱,不能做,只能说在操作上和选股上有提高的余地。
买PREFERRED SHARE要么是在低于PAR很多的时候从二级市场买(我从来不这样做);或者在IPO的时候买,一般都在PAR或者稍微低一些价格。只要选的正确,即便不到期,同样可以在二级市场交易,并且获利。
举几例子,都是这几年发的,在去年市场跌的时候他们都保持正回报。BNS的那个因为可以被CALL 走,去年还在没到期之前被SCOTIABANK买回去了一些.括号里是从IPO到现在的价格增值(不算DIVIDEND的)

If you look back 3 or 4 years, these shares went down sharply, especially bank preferred.
What Graham meant was that there was no rational reasons to invest in preferred shares at par. The share price of preferred could go up or down for sure.....
Many investors are very hungry for yields but are very averse to price fluctuation.... It is probably a non-stable state ...
There is no real difference between buying newly issued preferred and buying from market.
If one really likes preferred, one probably should read the prospectus closely - just like any due dilligence ....
