February 1, 2016

Nothing happened today. But January’s finished with – that’s enough good news for one day!

It was a mixed day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts gaining 9bp, FixedResets up 41bp and DeemedRetractibles off 16bp. The Performance Highlights table is published (I’ve run out of things to say over the past year!). Volume was extremely low.

For as long as the FixedReset market is so violently unsettled, I’ll keep publishing updates of the more interesting and meaningful series of FixedResets’ Implied Volatilities. This doesn’t include Enbridge because although Enbridge has a large number of issues outstanding, all of which are quite liquid, the range of Issue Reset Spreads is too small for decent conclusions. The low is 212bp (ENB.PR.H; second-lowest is ENB.PR.D at 237bp) and the high is a mere 268 for ENB.PF.G.

Remember that all rich /cheap assessments are:
» based on Implied Volatility Theory only
» are relative only to other FixedResets from the same issuer
» assume constant GOC-5 yield
» assume constant Implied Volatility
» assume constant spread

Here’s TRP:

Shall we just say that this exhibits a high level of confidence in the continued rapacity of Canadian banks?
