The retail bond (PMO1) has gone crazy this morning, fell from 84p as low as 73p, before recovering a bit. The annual coupon cost of £150m at 5% is only £7.5m and with Premier's cashflows, I cant see them having to default on it. Even at 78p latest, the YTM (2020) is over 10%. Good opportunity for buy and hold or short-term recovery in my view.

RNS: good aquisition, fits the strategy well, nice price. Shares should be up in response.
Good results and an interesting collaboration with Amazon on Pass-my-Parcel service. Stock very cheap indeed on 7.0% yield on increased divident, 7.5x statutory EPS. Singificant valuation upside- fair value in the 200-220p range.
Good buying opportunity- bought more at 366.6p
