Q: Just read the answer to the Nov 2017 notes offering. Just want to make sure I'm doing the math correctly. I read they are paying 1004.25/1000 which is only 100.425/100, so basically no premium. If I hold to maturity in 9 months it's 7.5% - 0.425 = 7.06% return. If I tender the offer it's 3 months interest of about 1.88% + 0.425 = 2.3% + interest made on a new investment. I would need to make 4.76% in 9 months (so a bond paying 6.3% annualy) to break even. I understand the risk and that the fixed income part is supposed to be the safe part of the portfolio, but is it really that big of a risk that Athabasca Oil will be bankrupt in 9 months and not be able to pay the principal back?
