“if they hold long term, they are guaranteed a loss.”

But if you buy a preferred at $26.50, and it distributes $2.00 annually, you will be even after 3 quarters, and ahead after 4 quarters/an entire year. Isn’t this correct? (Round numbers for easy math) Even is it is called at $25.

If buy 1,000 shares at $26.50 = $26,500 cost

If collect 4 quarterly dividends= $2,000

Called after collected 4 dividends, at $25= $25,000

Not wanting to start an argument, just asking if my thinking is correct :)
