Hi RG, Have a great trip. Here's a page on SI where you can read about all sorts of preferred and other types of stocks/bonds/debentures....... Subject 19082 As I've mentioned before, I've used convertible subordinated debentures are part of my overall equity warehouse asset base. They pay nice income and have possibilities for capital gain as well. This gives me a double bonus. In a couple of cases the bonds have been called before maturation because of shifts in "the cost of money." This has made the realization of the gain part more immediate while there's been a loss of continuing income. I still own one conv. bond from a company that was taken over several years ago. The bond still pays regularly and the value of the bond would give me a nice gain if it were called. If not I can wait for maturity while collecting the income and then take the gain. It lost its "conversion" factor with the buy-out, so I won't ever receive the stock. Best regards, Tom
