The stock itself pays 13.5%

I see aja8888 post a lot, so respectfully, I thought the very definition of cumulative shares was they have to be paid eventually, the company cannot pay regular share dividends until preferred have been paid. Every web site that describes preferred says that. NLY is big, 9 billion $ company.
NLY has cut dividend of regular stock before, no thanks to owing it.

I'd like to get into a few preferreds and was thinking of the Wells Fargo (WFC.PRL) and BAC (BAC.PRL) as their prices are starting to look attractive and I like they are perpetual unless the common stock hits what I consider is unrealistic levels. It seems utilities are the most popular preferreds here but I just don't know enough to feel comfortable dipping my toes in. I swear, I start reading these preferred threads from the beginning and soon I have a list of 20 that sound good but then just get overwhelmed. I need something simple, safe, reliable and longer term to start out with.
Would 5% in each the Wells Fargo and BAC preferreds be a reasonable allocation?
Thank you for chiming in Mulligan. If I'm not mistaken didn't you put your father into PFF for simplicity and diversification? That might be a better route for someone like me. Even with the expense ratio it's still yielding 6%.
I do have buy orders on your Connecticut Power preferreds but they never seem to sell.
Anyone keep a list of banking preferreds that are cumulative? With the banking stresses ongoing I would imagine some of these could be attractive, but want to hedge my risk on divvys being paid.
I don't think those exist.

I know one: BACRP. But you will pay a hefty premium to even get a few shares. Its price acts more like a say collectible than a mere stock.
Had an interesting discussion with Schwab today. I noticed on their site they were showing JPM/PRC as having a maturity date of 3/1/24. Quantum shows it as being perpetual. I checked the IPO and while it did not specifically say the issue was perpetual, it did not mention a maturity date.
The Schwab rep seemed disinterested and said she would elevate my concern but was unsure whether they would work on it or not.
Anyway, I think that issue is perpetual regardless of the Schwab site giving it a maturity date. But can someone verify that?
It looks like Schwab is labeling the first call date the maturity date.
Edit: It looks like Quantum is a bit thick-skulled too. They show the call date as 3/21/24, probably a data entry typo, since that date is 3/1/24.
Where can be get correct data?
Thanks for verifying.Its definitely perpetual
Optional Redemption
Added thought…Many of these reps dont understand or have a clue about preferreds or their prospectus.

Decided to look.... I do not see what you see...
It states the next call date is 3/1/24. I do not see anywhere they have a maturity date...

Opps... now I see the maturity date over to the left... probably a programming problem... and of course the call center would not know this or care...

If one is willing to take on a little risk, one may consider KMPB. Its a subordinate note from insurer Kemper. Its a 5.875% par reset trading around $17.35 for a current 8.47% and will go exD next month. It resets in 2027 with a 4.14% adjustment plus 5 year US Treasury yield.
Like most, the P&C and auto insurers have taken on some losses. But they will be filing increases to claw it back.
