RE:RE:RE:RE:Quiet accumulation?Thanks Charlie....glad to hear you like LIF and ALA. I also own FTS but that's it for me from your list.....held a lot of REITs and Preferred shares until recently. What is your take on pref shares as an asset class? They pay good divs but are thinly traded and not a good place to hide in a downturn. Other than that I think they are good - esp if they are of the rate reset variety.
