Major Price Changes
Issue Index Change Notes
FFN.PR.A SplitShare -1.4006% Now with an entirely reasonably pre-tax bid-YTW of 3.31% based on a bid of $10.56 and a hardMaturity at $10.00 on 2009-12-1
GWO.PR.G PerpetualPermium +1.1949% Now with a pre-tax bid-YTW of 3.51% based on a bid of $27.10 and a call 2010-1-30 at $26.00. If it makes it to the $25.00 call 2014-1-30, it will have yielded 3.83%. I call it expensive.
WFS.PR.A SplitShare +1.2299% Now with a pre-tax bid-YTW of 3.54% based on a bid of $10.70 and a hard maturity 2011-6-30 at $10.00. An entirely reasonably priced issue.
