PowerShares' Preferred Stock ETF Just Doesn't Stack Up

I see you own FFC which I plotted over 5 years against the S&P500 and it has performed terribly. I assume that is because I am not getting a chart which is total return including yield? Where do you go to plot/compare the total return on say a Vanguard Dividend Fund versus FFC?

Best wishes

The lesson 'it is easy to sell clients domestic large cap stocks'. I could not agree more with you comments and think that people with sector orientation should look at new ishares global sector funds.

This is an excellent and reasonably priced publication and Sonya Morris the editor seems to be doing a good job.
