They never finished my order at $24.96, I am wailing and gnashing my teeth.
I know your a controlled portion guy so what you buy will stay a palatable amount...But for others holding it still bears watching and monitoring. Ya never know this Puerto Rico debt they are insuring will work out.. They said they had it covered basically worst case scenario in July but that was before the hurricane, so economy will be in shambles. Its certainly no secret about their exposure here. Common stock would get rocked first and it was actually up nicely today. But still, call me paranoid, but it isnt being thrown in the sock drawer and being forgotten about though.

I am very much a novice, but started looking into preferreds a bit more.
I know that most of the WFC issues have a lower yield, but I was looking through these, and I think that the WFC-L is too expensive now at over $1300.
Investigating the other issues, I am a little surprised of the prices I see.WFC-J 8% yield is trading at 25.52 with one $0.50 dividend left before call
WFC-O 5.125% yield is trading at 25.04 with one $0.32 dividend left before call.
Looking at these two for example, are people irrationally looking at the yield of 8% and thinking that it will go beyond the call date and make them money?
Right now the 8% J issue has -0.5% annualized return from now through 12/15/2017 whereas the 5.125% O issue has a 7.10% annualized return through 12/15/2017

Am I missing something? To me it looks as if WFC-O would be a buy with a guaranteed 7.10% almost guaranteed annualized return. But this might be best handled in a tax preferred account.
Federal Realty on 9/27 issued a 5% Investment grade preferred, I have a mental note to buy some when the price hits 18.
CRAP.... got 1 (yes ONE) share of SPLP-T....
I am interested in Prefereds for diversification in my IRA. I am not a short term trader, may hold’ forever’ if the asset fits. Or draw down equally as I take RMDs. While I mostly do not market time I do like to take advantage of the occasional obvious investment opportunity. When I have funds to add to the portfolio I look at what sector has been doing worst and what is low in my AA and buy something. Is there a Preferred ETF to follow and what would indicate a good time to buy this asset Vs other segments of the market?
You don't use "all or none" on preferred shares ?
I usually use an all or none on all share transactions, unless I'm at a brokerage where the trades are free.
Probably because of stories from this thread
I hope that wasn't through a full service broker.
I have totally flipped out of SPLP-A into SPLP-T now and pleased...I got out of SPLP-A out of gate today at $21.68 on a premarket sell bid, and a few hours later got in T at $20.90... Lowers the cost basis nicely...My other block the other day I transitioned from $21.10 to $20.55.
Just curious, why did you trade our of A and into T? I'm in A and have no plans to do anything.
