• For a comprehensive tour of the QuantumOnline website, use the Tour of QuantumOnline.
• NOTE: we do require QuantumOnline users to register with QOL before using the tables and lists of income securities. The registration is free, with no obligation, and all information provided is kept private to QuantumOnline. To register, click on the "Register with QOL" button above and follow the instructions.
• To access the income securities tables and lists, use the "Income Tables", "Income Lists", "Stock Lists" or "Special Lists" menus above and then select and click on the table or list of your choice. Clicking on the "Table Descriptions" or "List Descriptions" at the top of each menu will give you a summary page describing the contents of each individual table or list on the menu.
• For general information on income investing and on the QuantumOnline website, use the "Information" menu above and then click on your choice of the available information pages. Clicking on the "Information Pages" selection at the top of the menu will give you a summary page describing what information is included on each information page.
• The "Quick Search" at the upper left of this page (and all pages) will allow you to find individual securities by either their ticker symbol or CUSIP number. Before searching for preferred and income securities by ticker symbol, you should read our "Preferred Ticker Symbols and Names" page under the Information menu which will help explain the very confusing system of ticker symbols used with preferred and income securities. The Quick Search Symbol Lookup will find securities by name. To find securities by name, input a distinctive word or two (i.e. citigroup, merrill lynch, etc.) and hit enter. The search will produce a list of all securities that include the input word(s). All searches are case insensitive so you can input upper or lower case letters in any combination.
• The credit ratings and other detailed comparison information on the preferred and income securities are on the Income Tables (not on the stock lists). To see the tables, use the "Income Tables" menu above. Note that the tables can be sorted by clicking on any underlined column heading.
