- djbusby 4y agoCan you two (@azlyrics, @fny) expand on this - or point to a topical article? When I first saw this @azlyrics comment was dead and I'm wondering what the fuzz is.
- fny 4y agoCitrix was struggling to borrow $4Bn for a leveraged buyout, they issued bonds that effectively yield 10% annually. That's a massive return we haven't seen forever in fixed income.
- azlyrics 4y agoThe curious part is that even with insane returns, they still struggled to get attention from institutional investors who appear to be a mix of cash and short positions.
- Kiro 4y agoHow do I buy it?
- dmurray 4y agoIf you have to ask, probably the better approach is to buy a junk bond ETF like any of the ones on [0]. This will give you a more diversified portfolio than just betting on Citrix.

- disgruntledphd2 4y agoYeah and basically nobody wanted it, which implies that things are gonna get worse.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoOr that Citrix was overextending itself.
- azlyrics 4y agoits not just Citrix but corporate bond liquidity was highlighted in 2019 then the pandemic happened and everybody just glossed over it. now the pace of liquidity crunch across all corporate bonds is picking up as rates pick up.
- disgruntledphd2 4y agoYeah, sure. That being said, the fact that there haven't been any other deals like this this year is a suggestion that the market for them has changed, mostly independently of the company involved.
