Taking advantage of last month’s downturn in prices for preferreds, we’re adding three new picks to our Preferred Stocks portfolio, asserts income expert Harry Domash, editor of Dividend Detective.

We can’t predict when and if preferred share prices bottom and start moving up again.

But, to our knowledge, all of our preferred issuers have strong balance sheets and hence, should have no problem funding the required dividends. Consequently, this is one instance where you’ll be well paid to wait .

These three new preferred picks that are trading 14% to 18% below their call prices. That means that in addition to their 6.1% to 8.4% yields, they’re offering 14% to 18% appreciation potential should they trade back up to their $25 call prices.

Thus, when the preferreds market recovers, holders could potentially enjoy double-digit capital appreciation on those picks.

They are trading at those discounts because the issuing companies, all REITs, are currently out of favor with market analysts. Why? They disappointed them by missing or cutting earnings and revenue forecasts.

But all have solid balance sheets and aren’t likely to run short of the cash needed to pay their preferred dividends.

Moreover, all three preferreds are “cumulative” meaning that the issuers remain on the hook for any missed dividends
