June 6, 2013

NextEra’s legal tactics and understanding of the word “terror” terrify me.

The losing streak on the Canadian preferred share market continued today, with PerpetualPremiums losing 17bp, FixedResets down 14bp and DeemedRetractibles off 11bp. The performance highlights table is comprised entirely of losers, mostly Straight Perpetuals – but it’s only a little above average in length! Volume was high.
