Well, I haven’t done anything more on the missing posts, but I do know that they all exist quite happily on the old server. They will be imported eventually – but probably not today.

So, in another foreshortened commentary …

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.54%, equivalent to 7.20% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long Corporates now yield about 4.75% so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now about 245bp.
