The fact that Kyros won't touch the MIR common at any price here scares me away from even a trade. Like many if the gap close and we get back sub 2.25 I may consider it, but probably not. I'd rather play with TE, DUK, CNP or RRI. At least if something goes wrong I don't mind owning those LT.

Good volume on all 3. MIR still held down from the rest until the refi, and Q1 earnings. If MIR opens a few pennies higher than todays high and can close higher leaving a gap, all on good volume, I will consider adding more. What I especially liked from a trading perspective is: MIR, CPN, RRI had a good rebound today on volume despite a torrent of negativity, including a down day on the street. A few months back these guys were getting crushed on any news. Now they are weathering the bad news.

At this point in the game, shouldn't we stick with something stodgy and reliable, like the OSX? -g-

Great quote on MIR from a bagholder...I mean bondholder. -g- "This situation is complicated because there are inter-creditor issues with respect to who has the rightful claim on assets, but, at the end of the day, it's in everyone's best interest to cut a deal. And now the market reflects a much greater likelihood that a deal will get done," said one Mirant bondholder, who wished not to be named. "It just doesn't make sense to go through a bankruptcy. It's a more valuable company if it's given time to survive and wait for the energy markets to recover."
