I don't understand your comment regarding upside of the debs and no double.
To double from here the common needs to hit roughly $9.
Ignoring the coupon, the .DB series doubles from today's price (roughly par) if the common hits $10 before maturity. Add in the 7% coupon (without any compounding and forgetting the upcoming June payment,) and we get a double when the common hits $8.95. (Solve for x: 200 = 100/5 * x + 3*7.)
So with the debs you get pretty much all the upside of the common plus some additional security. Definitely still compelling. I would expect the debs to trade pretty much lockstep with the common once we're past $5, with the appropriate premium to account for the coupon.
The B series is a different matter, of course. When the common dipped down below $3.80 I considered unloading my B's and grabbing more shares. I wish I had done more than consider that move!
Yeah at $3.80 it's a much tougher call than at $4.45.
I'm in pretty big on the debentures, sold by C series to get more .DB. I only own .DB now.
I think the debenture market in Canada is really inefficient, see some weird pricing on other ones as well.
