IDG Dividends can be witheld      1-Oct-08 08:21 pm    
If you check the prospectus on this preferred stock, you'll see that the company has the option of suspending payment of dividends whenever they want, and for as long as they want. Dividends accumulate in that case, with interest if earnings were sufficient to pay dividends but they elected not to. However, because this is a perpetual preferred, the company can essentially elect to withhold paying dividends forever.
