What are some of the preferred stocks?

[Good-Person]

As the name suggests, the preferred stocks are the kind of stocks with some kind of preference over other stocks. This means that the shareholders who hold this kind of stock may enjoy some benefits over other stockholders who may be holding "ordinary" stocks. So, what are some advantages of preferred stocks and what advantage do they have over other kind of stocks?

Preferred stocks give the investor priority over a company's income, in other words, preferred stock holders receive dividends before another common stock holder. However, preferred stocks holder do not have voting rights just like common stockholders.

There are not many companies that could boast that they are somehow better in relation to investors than others, but I know, for example, that there is Pfizer and they pay dividends to all investors every quarter. Therefore, in my opinion, all companies that share profits with investors are a priority for me.
