My point was the preferred has no conversion leverage now or in the future. With the preferred at 40+, the common would have to 80ish for the preferred to have a convert value. There is no dollar figure on the common for conversion, strictly one preferred for 1/2 common. 7% is not a bad yield, but to miss most of the capital gain in the event of a huge runup in the common, would be of little solace. To introduce options as a vehicle to participate in capital gains may be viable for some, but certainly most buyers of preferreds do so for income or risk aversion.
