 Technical Analysis with Big Charts, 2008-11-18
I was very disappointed with this text. Essentially about 50 pages of text and 150 pages of full page charts. The author is using technical analysis to find long term buy or sell trends in preferred stock and bonds. There are two sections, one discussing bonds and the other discussing preferred stock. However, except for differences in charts they almost read exactly the same. If you are not interested in technical analysis this is not the book for you.

 Investment research that is truely unique! , 2008-07-02
I have followed Ken Winans' research for years, and believe it to be some of the most creative work in the investment business. The Winans International Preferred Stock Index (WIPSI)is by far the best index to track preferred stocks, and proves that preferred stocks are "Wall Street's best kept secret"!

Review From 30-Year Wall Street Professional, 2008-06-29
"Good book; clear and concise, which for whatever reason, seems to be a problem for many people who write financial books."

A Timely Book!, 2008-06-29
I have read this book twice, and find it to be very insightful. Many of the things the author predicted (i.e., flaws in the investment rating system) have recently come true in the subprime mess. I have searched high & low for books on preferred stocks, and this is the only one currently on the market.

A short book that is low in content, 2007-12-23
I was very disappointed in this book. It is a short book to begin with, but unfortunately this is one of those investment books that fill many of its pages with technical charts. (97 charts and 26 tables in 202 pages) Very, very few practical tips. A lot of subjects simply go unmentioned, or are only mentioned in passing.
No coverage of yield versus risk. Just a brief mention of quantumonline, the best online resource for researching preferreds. No mention of strategies surrounding ex-div dates, and whether to buy or sell just before going ex-dividend. And incredibly, no book index.
A very large part of the book is devoted to Winans own index of preferred stocks, the WIPSI. I get the impression that he is trying to provide credence and academic standing to this index, perhaps in the hope that some ETF will pick it up and commercialize it.
But for the average investor, there's simply very little here to recommend.
