About me
Retired CFO. Have been investing since 1970 in stocks, bonds,options, preferreds and dirivatives. manged a $500 million bond fund for 3 years. Look for value plays. Currently think A- and higher rated bank preferreds are best bargain in market at 8-10% yields. Some examples are Citigroup, Wachovia, Suntrust, JPM,Bank America, Fifth Third, Sun Trust and Wells Fargo along with Fannie Mae and Feddie Mac securities. I always keep 5-10% gold positions. Think energy is in a bubble and due for a at least a 25% correction.
