johntan1979 Warrants are classified under "equities".
gill15 So is preferred stock but I guess becasue for valuation purposes PS is treated as Fixed income securities when dividends are clearly paid....how do we know its clearly paid?
Logaritmus Investopedia tells us that Preferred stock is equity, but usually has a fixed dividend payouts so it is fixed income security for its owner and we may treat it as a fixed-income obligation.
joeclark PS is normally a debt instrument (technically). F*ck investopedia.
