February 28, 2014

Nothing happened today.

It was another positive day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts winning 17bp, FixedResets gaining 10bp and DeemedRetractibles up 13bp. Volatility was merely average, but the Performance Highlights table is comprised entirely of winners, all but one of them a FixedReset. Volume was average, but the highlights were uniformly FixedResets.

And that’s it for another month!
