I bought a 150 shares in total in this ‘gift’ today at $30.97 (a 100 share buy and then a 50 share buy) to add to my 100 in the sock drawer. AATRL which is a $50 trust convertible issue from Affiliated Managers (AMG)—the yield at my cost was 8.3% for an investment grade issue.
I had wrote ‘mark my word this will trade much higher in the month or two ahead“. Looks like I should have written much higher in the next hour or two as shares are now at $36.59. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good and we are lucky today. Thanks to all discussing this issue–gave me something to buy and write about.
Hope you all got the sock drawer stuffed down at $30 (or below for those that were in early).
I nabbed some back when this was being discussed. Thanks for the good advice, Tim. Just today I saw it has finally hit its $50 PAR price. It’s IG with 5.15% yield, so I think I’ll just hang on to it and leave the capital gain unrealized.
