Raam Thanks for the question!

I’m sorry, but I’m having one of those days where things just aren’t working right for me, including my understanding of your comments.

i understand the credit spreads of the Brazilian corporate bonds.

Howver, its sad to note that the investors have little appetite for the municipal bond market . could this be an anomaly of the meed for further credit enhancenent by the sovereign state and or the sub sovereign organ . surely, there are other methods to improve credit enhancement such as the senior debt beind placed with a huge investor and categorising the paper into mezzanine and junior debt. The first loss absorption is the security that the investor needs.
will wait for your comment

If we can find them, Bloomberg has an identifier for anything listed…We need that to identify which bonds your looking for.

Hi Randy,
Thanks for the answer. I saw in Yahoo finance (for example) that insiders hold 22% of the shares outstanding. Is it an accurate (and updated) value?
Thanks
Ron
