And preferred stocks have a similar profile to bonds.
but they trade like stocks and it's usually for 25 per share sometimes they're a little bit lower than that but they pay higher income which is what's nice about preferreds and what's also interesting about preferreds is you have a little more protection in case the company that issues them declares bankruptcy because preferreds sit in what they call higher in the capital structure
meaning that if this company goes into bankruptcy, you will get paid first before common shareholders.
A lot of preferreds are paying anywhere about 6.5% or 7% of dividends, which is nice.
Yeah, baby bonds are neat.
They are a little less known and they're much like preferred stocks.
So if a company is going to issue preferred shares, they may also issue a baby bond, formerly known as exchange traded debt.
And the reason why they're called baby bonds is they are issued in smaller denominations, which makes them more accessible to individual investors.
Similar to preferred stock, they are typically issued in $25 denominations, and they can trade like stocks.
You can find baby bonds by searching your brokerage account for bond IPOs to see recent issues.
And a lot of the baby bonds that have been issued recently are coming to market with 8% or 9% yields.
You know, if the Fed lowers rates quicker and you haven't bought anything, you are looking at interest rate risks coming down.
And just like anything, you have to think about what your own risk tolerance is.
Things like ETFs can be volatile.
They trade much like stocks.
So that's something you have to keep in mind.
With bonds, there's the possibility that a company defaults.
So those are other things you need to keep in mind.
So do your due diligence before you purchase any of these things.
