preferred stock holders will be the "prefered" holders when/if it came to liquidation. They would be the first to receive whatever values they could be paid in favor of the common stock holders. After the prefered holders have been paid however many pennys on a dollar on their stocks, the common holders would then receive there returns. Usually there is NONE left.......

What is the difference between common stock and preferred stock and which is better?
A preferred share usually entitles the holder to a dividend of a specified percentage. A preferred share's dividend is paid before any dividend is paid to the holders of the common shares. People who are looking for income, rather than growth, generally tend to purchase preferred shares instead of common shares (assuming they invest at all in shares). The return on investment is usually a little higher than ordinary interest-bearing paper. But there is also a corresponding risk. A common share gives the holder an opportunity for a capital gain if the company grows and prospers. Dividends are not always paid to common shareholders. Whether preferred is better than common (or vice versa) depends on your investment strategies and how much risk you are willing to take.

What are the types of stocks?
Common stockPreferred stockCommon stock is usually what is issued to the general public. The term common Stock doesn't carry any negative connotations, but rather indicates that it is the "standard" stock the company has offered. Common shareholders have voting rights.And as the word suggests, "Preferred" stock has certain advantages over common stock.First, preferred share holders are paid dividends on their stock market investment before common share holders. And if a company isn't doing well, the Common stock dividend is eliminated first.Second, is if a company goes out of business, the owners of preferred shares have prior claim to any assets that remain when the company is dissolved and after bond holders and other creditors have been paid.Owners of common stock are the last in line to pick up the pieces of the fallen corporation.

Is common stock have a normal debit or credit balance?
All Stock is listed under Owners Equity or also known as Stockholders Equity. If you look at the Accounting Equation you understand that Assets = Liabilities + Owners (Stockholders) Equity Assets maintain a Debit Balance, while Liabilities maintain a Credit Balance. OE (Stockholders Equity) also will maintain a Credit Balance. Therefore stock will maintain a "Credit" Balance. The only exception to this rule is "Treasury" stock which is stock purchased back by the company to reduce outstanding stock. Although Treasury Stock is still listed in Equity, it is listed as a negative number (or rather a debit).
