Yes, I do think the preferred is less risky than the common. Not only does it pay a dividend but by March of '99 you are guaranteed an exchange for 143.75% of common. Sounds like a built in LTCG! I have no idea why there is a substantial short interest in the preferred or why anyone would see an advantage to that strategy unless there is some hidden X factor here that none of us is aware of. This company does seem to have a weird capital structure. Maybe we should all be combing the Edgar filings for an answer. Dick
