I don't see the difference between a 3:2 split and the original dividend declaration in terms of share accumulation. You still will benefit in preferred share number identically. Tax treatment is another story. I suppose the dividend is treated as income, whereas the split would not...., so the split would be better tax-wise (?...I am not from and do not live in the USA) Re the option analogy on the existing post record date preferreds, I do not see your opening at $15 Monday with the common where they are; as it closed Friday, the preferreds ex-split are still undervalued in terms of the October conversion. But who knows? I really don't see the call options analogy. Could you explain further?
