In this episode you will learn: - That cumulative preferred stock requires issuers to pay all missed dividends (arrears) before paying common stockholders. - How convertible preferred stock offers the potential for capital appreciation by allowing conversion into common stock, usually for a lower dividend. - Why callable preferred stock benefits the issuer, who can redeem shares when interest rates fall, creating reinvestment risk for the investor. - That participating preferred stock allows holders to receive extra dividends beyond the stated rate during highly profitable years. - How preferred stock prices are sensitive to interest rates, moving inversely to rate changes, similar to bonds.
