    RE: 5.25% LFE.PR.A bid @10.26 indicates yield of over 5% according to Globeinvestor and TDW yield calculators vs. your table. I hope this is an error because I hold this one but don’t want it @4.73%!

    RE: CM.PR.J whacked down to 22.51 close yield 5%! This assumes a GOC 10 year @ 4.8%. Starting to smell like buying op…or not?

    I’ve created a post discussing LFE.PR.A.

    CM.PR.J … well, 5% from a bank guaranteed perpetual hasn’t been seen for a while, anyway! After application of a 1.4x Dividend Gross Up Factor, that’s 7% interest-equivalent, which is basically long-Canadas + 262bp, according to the Bank of Canada. There are certainly many who will consider it a buying opportunity.

  3. […] Also led the charts (downward) on June 1! New low today of 22.55. Now with a pre-tax bid-YTW of 5.34% based on a bid of 22.55 and a limitMaturity. […]
