Anybody investing in this ETF?

Mitchelg

I am.  I bought 100 shares in February.  So far I'm down a little, excluding monthly dividends.  My thinking was that the yield was higher than a bond and I thought it was a good way of getting more yield.   I'm a few years out from retirement and am very conservative in my approach to investing.

WSJ had a recent artice on preferred stock as an investment, which emphasized the down side.
