Is the Chinaman still selling or all sold ? Maybe one reason why still going up. In past cycles prefs not much affected by interest rates until 4% reached and that is not a near term prospect. A closed fund coupon not subject to trading -not a real preference share -its a slush fund !- continue to hold.-could go to more -130p

Still yielding a tad over 7% most other fixed income prefs fallen below 7% eg San and Gaia 6.8% clearly these are good value by many metrics and could rise to 135p over next year IMO.

Agreed , but it is rather tedious if you have to actually make some dummy trades to see what it really is...

[pollen8] 28/10/2013 16:28

Pleased to see a narrower spread.

[wad collector] 28/10/2013 13:00

The bid to offer is unhelpful today - quote showing as 104/108 and yet I just sold some at 106.9p
Did a dummy buy and offered 108.9
So the spread is much healthier than it appears.

After buying 4 tranches today I think I have helped push the price up.

Analyst said interest rates won't rise until 2015, may not rise even then.

Maybe Monty particularly for larger investors/investments. But for many this is less illiquid when things are sour its easier to trade its somewhat insulated from the trading of the parent bank in that its a closed fund backing it that does not trade. There is a chance of 'redemption' -that 'holy' word and from past behaviour unlikely to be accepted below par ie £1. !

[montyhedge] 09/11/2012 08:53

Surely BOI 13.375% better value?

Good industrial production figures in Ireland and Bank of Ireland nudged up a cent this week-just to think they were once 8 euro. BWSA of course owned by the Bank of Ireland and any strengthening of the bank heartening if it pays no extra dividend -theoretically if BWSA goes over £ maybe one day BOI might tender a bit more but maybe a long wait which might not be any concern to our Chinese friend but with an 8%(approx)yield its a yield worth hanging on to.
