RE:Goodbye to common shares, see you after recessions. Mouserman would call me a permabull (until today) and he would be right. My strategy was perfect for bull markets but I had a hard time switching gears in 2022 losing my nest egg. Now I'm halfway back to the peak. My 50,000 shares of ffn.pr will pay my living expenses nicely. That's it. After my dfn sells, everything is in ffn.pr. And yes the Preferred shares get sucked along in a big downturn. If that happens I'll just buy more Preferred shares while they are down. My broker will miss out on my 100 trades per quarter.
