Investor Insanity Creates Huge Mispricing: 12.5% YTM On B. Riley Baby Bonds

Summary

  • The YTM (yield to maturity) on B. Riley baby bonds has increased as much as 44% in just the last 3 weeks with YTMs up to 12.96%.
  • A short attack (IMO without merit) caused RILY stock to drop but strangely the much safer baby bonds dropped much more. Thus, this excellent buying opportunity now exists.
  • The 12.5+% YTM on RILY baby bonds versus the 8% current yield on RILY preferred stocks is one of the most egregious relative mispricing that I have ever seen.
  • RILY could have a strong first quarter giving investors in their baby bonds a catalyst for a strong rally.
  • We're currently running a sale at my private investing ideas service, Conservative Income Portfolio, where members get access to portfolios, market alerts, real-time chat, and more. Learn More »
