Nothing happened today.
The Canadian preferred share market got smacked again, with PerpetualDiscounts losing 113bp, FixedResets down 34bp and DeemedRetractibles off 28bp. BAM issues were prominent on the very lengthy Performance Highlights list, and not on the good part of it either! Mind you, the good part wasn’t all that lengthy. Volume was quite high.
