iShares Trust iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (PFF) 뉴스

Ok to buy here and hold for next 18 months? Should appreciate with the int rate drop right?

I entered PFF back in 2010 using an account where you could with no cost reinvest the Divvy back into the ETF.

I felt it was safe and did it to diversify. It did not return what could have been had I been in the S&P 500.

The account was with ScottsTrade and was purchased by TD. I lost my history and sorry to say I cannot tell you exactly my gains. It was in an IRA.

EDIT.. I must have exited in 2017.

Have you been pleased with your investment in PFF over the past two years? Considering on doing a long term investment soon.

TIA

Getting beat but I am looking up on Pref shares...

Starting to like this -- swings nicely...

Looks tradable now!

Still no excitement...

Neat idea... on watch for signals of early recovery.
