People's United Financial Inc. Message Board

I am long FFC and a number of individual Bank TRUPS. When rates rise I am wondering how these will perform relative to mid and long term Treasurys and long term Corporates. I have owned TRUPS during prior periods when rates rose the the prices dropped. Todays interest rate scenario is so different I wonder if prices will hold up better on these long term debt issues. I have been buying adjustable bank loan funds but yields are 1/2 that of the TRUPs.

Sentiment: Hold

Educate me, How much short interest is out there and why would anybody be short SVU at this point in time ?

Sentiment: Buy

That prediction would imply a buyout because earnings are unlikely to increase enough.
Very insightful comment however.

Sentiment: Strong Buy

They have a plan . Buyback stock to increase earnings per share.

Sentiment: Buy

I own YMLP as well as MLPA . It may have something to do with the asset size of only $ 89 million. The others are much larger in assets and more liquid. Also possibly fiscal cliff tax issues.
