Retirement Yield Trap Or Treasure? 1 Stock To Sell, 1 To Buy

PFFA: Preferred Shares Aren't Always Safe - Key Reasons To Sell
I rate PFFA a sell despite its high yield and peer outperformance, as I see limited opportunity and elevated risks at current levels. PFFA's 2024 distributions weren't covered by cash flow, relying on leverage and realized gains—unsustainable if market conditions worsen. Leverage amplifies both returns and losses, making PFFA especially vulnerable during market panics and contributing to long-term NAV erosion.
