razorbackea had the pricing prior to any SEC filings.
For an issue that engenders such a low level of interest here it was nearly impossible to buy any shares below $24.97 up to $25.02
4.125% = Pass. If this is what you want buy BAC-L for 5%, as others have pointed out. or BML-L with the same rate and some rising rate protection.
Yes, BAC-L does yield 5% but may fall more than the 1% difference in yield on the next scare of interest rates going up. This newer BOAPL likely to maintain the $25-ish price and likely a flip if it goes to mid-$25s.
I did buy some $24.96 and may buy some more if gets a bit lower
picked up 32 shares at $25/share (buy and hold)
Not an issue to own when interest rates rise. Will a 25% increase in money supply in 2020 alone kindle inflation and rising rates?
That’s the big question in my mind – Modern Monetary theory seems a little TGTBT.
I find it amusing that so many on WS are now confident predictors of interest rates!!!! You know the same voices / the same people from 2015 on who shouted ULTRA SHORT is the only place to be.
