RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Debentures are paying full interestWho was your broker? I sold some the other day, through Scotia, and they initially showed that my cash balance had increased by thousands, mostly interest, but on settlement date, they corrected it, removing the interest, and leaving me with hundreds instead of thousands.
Over the past few years, it has been trading on an interst flat basis instead of the usual accrued interest basis. My experience is that most brokers do not understand this, and even their back offices stumble over it. So mistakes are to be expected.
The only way to know for sure if the trading is now on an interest flat or accrued interest bases is to access the appropriate CDS bulletin. Good luck. You might get it, if you ask, through a full service broker. Or you could subscribe yourself for aournd $1000:
