Winans Preferred Stock Toolbox
Analyze the market using the Winans International Preferred Stock Index (WIPSI)™!
Preferred stocks have historically been one of the best income investments on Wall Street, and the Winans International Preferred Stock Index (WIPSI) is the only index that benchmarks preferred stocks back to the 1900s. The WIPSI is an even-weighted index that consists of traditional preferred stocks of 30 U.S. companies. Now with Kenneth Winans’ new MetaStock add-on you too can take advantage of the (WIPSI) in YOUR analysis.
Why is it important to have an index for preferred stocks?
The simple answer is that investors are being exposed to individual preferred stocks on a daily basis, and they need a benchmark to monitor and evaluate the overall activity in the preferred stock market. After all, a common stock investor uses the S&P 500 Index or the Dow Jones Industrial Average to track the daily movements of common stocks.
The Winans Preferred Stock Toolbox allows you to do all the following:
- Track preferred stocks since 1900 with the Winans International Preferred Stock Index (WIPSI)
- Perform your own studies on the WIPSI
- Select investments using relative strength of individual preferred stocks compared to the WIPSI
- Identify the current yields of any preferred stock or corporate bond with the “Winans Chart”

In 2007, Mr. Winans wrote and published the first book on preferred stocks since the 1930's, Preferreds - Wall Street's Best-Kept Income Secrets, a winner in the 2007 National Best Book Awards. Nineteen months later, he wrote and published his second book Investment Atlas - Financial Maps to Investment Success.
