A common term is "preferred" stock (vs. "common" stock). There are other arrangements w.r.t. the preferred / common distinction. E.g., I just heard a news story the other day about how one of the big newspapers has preferred stock held by the original private owners' family that has twice the voting weight per share that the common stock shares have. This prevents institutional investors from gaining operational control of the organization. > -- > Boyd Gerber Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
