ECCW Baby Bond offers a 6.75% annual dividend, trading at $23 with an 8.92% yield to maturity, poised to outperform the common stock. SPMA preferred stock provides an 8% annual dividend, trading at $24.49 with an 8.9% yield to maturity, and is relatively safe due to the low leverage of the company.
