  • yield to maturity: 7.65%
  • current yield, annual: 6.03%
From a reader:
Almost every single time a company's stock price had a total collapse, it was preceded by a crush in the same company's bond prices up to a year before.
Ford and GM in 2009, American Airlines, Blockbuster, Enron, Boeing in 2001, you name it.
It's extremely rare for a company's bond to crash while its stock price keeps going up for much longer. I can't even think of a single example where this happened before.
