Preferred stocks differ from common stock in several ways.  Preferred stocks have dividends.  The payment of the preferred stock dividends comes before the payment of dividends to the common stock.  Common stock holders have voting rights, while preferred stock holders do not.  In these ways, preferred stocks are similar to bonds.  Interest gets paid to bond holders before dividends get paid to common stock holders, and bond holders have no voting rights.
