What is a ratio call spread?
Ratio call spreads are options strategies where the investor combines purchased calls and short calls at the same expiration but with different strike prices.

What is a Preferred Stock?
Preferred stock are dividend-paying equity shares issued by corporations, which pays a dividend with a higher priority than common stock, but lacks the voting rights that come with common stock.
