Ok, so this isn't really a "stock" and I don't buy many individual issues, so please bear with me on this post...
About 2 years ago I bought some of these notes on the original issue at $25. About a year later when DH and I were going over our accounts and this was hovering around $23 DH suggested that we buy more, so we did (in the tax deferred account this time). Well, yesterday it hit $21 and I bought more - during the middle of the night here in Tokyo (that's a whole other topic - market fueled insomnia in Japan) because the yield now is over 8%.
From everything I can find out about Viacom their profits are solid, and I'm hoping that these notes are just going down because everything else it.
Anyway, they are REALLY long term, like 12/15/55, callable in 2011.
Thoughts?
