Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I’ll explain what preferred shares are, how they compare to stocks and bonds, their pros and cons, and whether they belong in a portfolio. I’ll end things by sharing some fascinating data from a dividend expert who analyzed the average dividend growth rate of the S&P 500 from 1936 until now, and I’ll compare that to inflation.
