Preferreds are inefficient in that they're thinly traded. At a given moment, the spread between the bid and ask price is wide, so you have to watch out not to overpay the stock. Since dividends from common shares have the element of growth, investors are likely to bid up the price, thus depressing the yield. You can find an excellent overview on preferreds here.
