Welcome to the FISHING thread, Dale. Best to go back and read as many of my general posts as you can find. . .here and on the HOME thread. . .there are volumes of tips and lessons about the way the trading world really works. . or as best as we are able to figure out.

Par value represents the initial value of the company with respect to each share issued. For instance, if you start a company with 1,000 dollars and you issue 1 million shares, then the shares would carry a par value of .001. Every stock is different. . .but most are .01 or less.

Pick a half dozen companies, then check their SEC filings and look up the par value of the common stock. Now often the preferred has a greater par value than the common. If I am not mistaken the PLCO common par value is .001, whereas the pfd is .01 [10 times more at issuance]. That is why they are willing to convert the preferred into so many commons.

Glad to have you here,
