The price of any preferred is irrelevant, they are a debt instrument that supposed to collect interest/dividends than other investment options with no collateral. In reality in every sense other than the minds of receivership sand men, who are not getting any of it, devise a fantasy that creates some kind of value. Right now no one should be buying preferred, unless they believe in the shell game.
