GLU-B – Anyone interested in buying a 2 year essentially non-callable 5.20% CD alternative? With the announced extension of GLU-B’s put provision to 6/26/27, that’s what you get at 50.25. where it last traded….. Accrued right now is .246 and its current asset coverage ratio is 467% as per https://gab-misc-pdfs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/LevAnalysis.pdf. Technically it is currently callable, however Gabelli’s voluntarily initiated election to extend the put and allow it to be exercised every 6 months makes this IMHO the very definition of a sock drawer issue.
2wr—absolutely spot on with this one. When I read that last night I thought ‘got to get some of this one for 18 months’.
Thanks for the alert, Tim. I had been accumulating this in hopes they’d do this extension thing yet again, but still did not see this announcement anywhere but here….
Gabelli also issued a small $10 5.20% 3/26/27 preferred replacement for GDL-C on March 26, but it was unregistered and I believe had to be held at ComputerShare if someone wanted to own it… https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001378701/000199937125003702/gdl-8k_040225.htm
2wr–that one caught my eye as it is a perfect replacement for some cds etc. I would like to get some more at the right price.
