Buying back pfds is always easy sometime later.

Yes, at 10-20% higher prices. Hmm, that's like 1.5-3 years of pref yield... ;)

Recouping losses in them can take years, as we know.

There are only two issues when this would be a problem: treasury rates rise and your pref coupon becomes worth-less; company stops paying and your pref becomes worthless. Other than that, I am fine holding them for years.

Are you really 100% confident in the credit markets with stocks reacting like this?

I don't give a rat's ass about credit markets. If prefs go to $10 on $25, it's gonna be even merrier.

KIDS DON'T DO THIS AT HOME! :)
