Q: Some investors assess a company's share prospects by looking at the company's debt. Since Argex announced its offering (on June 1), it has lost more than half its market cap, yet its debentures are getting a $66 bid. I agree that $66 on $100 face isn't exactly a vote of confidence, but given the 'failed' offering, wouldn't we expect the debenture to follow the share price down? Or does the relative stability of the debenture serve to recommend the shares?

Q: It's extremely difficult to get candid perspectives on Ultrashort ETFs. Structural issues aside, what is your view on the impact of "Seeking Alpha's" report that 30% of TBT's market cap had left as of June 5? Personally, I can't understand why they'd leave now that rates seem to be finally heading up....
