Im talking about a "decline" related to common shares. Its already happening.
About 2 years ago, I could get 5 commons for each preferred, which is what I did. (sold preferred, bought common).
Now, that has declined to about 3 commons for each preferred.
The pps is a different issue, Im discussing the ratio of preferred to common.
In 2006, the preferreds were worth LESS than a share of common, about 20 percent less.
With "receivership talk" the preferreds escalated, but it was never real. They dont bankrupt profitable companies.
