QuantumOnline (quantumonline.com: QuantumOnline.com - Preferred Stocks, Common Stocks, Exchange Trade Securities (ETFs) and Convertible Securities Information ) has a very good database, but it's cumbersome to search.
Best I can do is Copy/Paste into Excel as a text file and then do the adjusting and sorting from there. The...adjustments...are the cumbersome part, since I don't have the programming chops to set up a script.There was an opensource program called "preferred search" which I used to use, it pulled in the data from quantumonline and yahoo (for prices).
It was great, made looking through preferreds very easy.
I was/is written, IIRC, in python. It stopped working when yahoo went to their cookie/crumb thing. There were sites that told how to do that yahoo thing in python, evidently pretty easy once you knew the trick. I emailed the author and asked him to fix it, but he said he was bored with it and declined. Somebody who knows python or who cares to muddle through could fix it.
