What risks are you assuming with preferred stock that you would not have with common stock and bonds? Be specific
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: When interest rates rise, the value of the preferred stock drops. When interest rates drop, the value of the preferred stock rises and the preferred stock is called away from the investor. The investor does not participate in the capital gains that common stockholders receive. This investment does not have the safety of bond interest payments, because preferred stock dividends can be passed without the risk of bankruptcy.
