Be careful to check out the call provisions. It is probably callable at $1000 giving you an 8% loss if called before you collect interest payment. Preferred stocks are usually traded flat. Unlike bonds owner on x date collects full payment.

The call option is tied to the share price. This is a convertible issue. See below…

Given the current price, $83, assuming the share price increased at 10% annually it wil take another 10 years before WFC can force the conversion.
