The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Especially when you factor in how many of those intervening years had substantially negative interest rates for so many countries' government bonds. They're not so bad now. Current average YTM and YTW are both stated at 6.56%. It's not a great number to consider, but FWIW the trailing twelve month cash distributions amount to 5.53% of the current price, before tax. Rather surprisingly for an ETF, it's currently trading at a 10% discount to NAV, and has been at a discount most of the last couple of months. I guess the arbitrage is difficult for the authorized participants."

And despite being bond with the underlying assets, WIP can be traded at anytime, that's very important when opportunities arrive.
