Insane Discount so close to Reset
ET-C. I bought a ton in Q4 and flipped in Q1. Solid cap gains/dividend flip. Now a $1 below what I exited my position at so I'm at it again. Reset is May 15th.
Yield will be in the mid 9% range upon reset. May's dividend should not impact the share price much if at all since the preferred is callable. Will ET call C? I believe the odds are favorable, but either way the discount should narrow considerably and there'll be a nice bump up in the yield. Please do your own due diligence.
