Pretty much. I am long some Delta preferreds at $3.50 and collected my first quarterly dividend last week of 51 cents. Annual yield, 58%. Obviously a highly speculative trade, and that dividend could be suspended anytime, but so far, so good.

If it's trading around $3 we'd be looking at a div yield of, what, 60%? lol
Quote from lescor:
The coupon on the preferred is 8.25%. Delta has some preferreds with similar coupons and they traded under $3 after the bankruptcy announcement, but then moved up (a little). Each situation is unique though. Where did you hear 10-20 cents on the dollar?
