As I write this, that particular issue of Consolidated -Edison preferred is trading at $76.50 a share giving your 50 shares a market value of $3,825. Along with other straight preferred stocks, this one has turned out to be a sad investment over recent years. But, if you'sell, youH have find another place to put your money to work.

The whole point of buying preferred stock, at anv time, is to get the fixed dividends such stocks pay. With Con Ed preferred, you know you are going to collect S5-a-share dividends, vear in and year out unless the company calls in the stock- and redeems it.

And that's not about to happen. Market prices of preferred stocks do fluctuate, as you learned the hard way. When interest rates go up, the market prices of fixed-income securities (preferred stocks, bonds and such) go down. When interest rates go down, market prices of fixed-income securities go up. We're in a period of high interest rates.

So, you and many, many other people who bought preferred stocks and bonds have seen the market values of your investments decline. That stock is providing the steady income you want from it. A younger person might consider selling it and buying something else that. W'nefully, would grow in value. But.
