mbg was on this one and Larry Robard chimed in with yield talk in the 5.25-5.375% area.
Small correction on your note?: I see ECCY as 6.75%, not 6.5%, so might be more likely to be called than the X. Of course I’d assume B is first in line, unless they want to hold onto a preferred vs a bond. And, depending on amounts (which I haven’t bothered to look at yet), X and Y might get called together.
Thanks so much for ‘heads up!
Some times I feel like sheep ready to be fleece..
Thanks for info I wasnt fighting City Hall on this. Bought ECCB after sell off from partial call. Looks like a couple monthly divis collected and 20 cents cap gain at 25.38 sell this morn. Was time for me to move on.
