Summary of GLBSE Bitcoin Savings & Trust passthroughs

[MrTeal]

I haven't seen a compilation of all the new Pirate Pass Through options since they started springing up, so I thought I would post on here from my own notes. All the times I list correspond to GLBSE time. This was just made by scrapping the threads and GLBSE listings, so there could be inaccuracies that I would love to correct.

Thanks for that. I didn't include any of the lending forum options since Patrick has already covered them. This is focusing on the GLBSE listed securities.

Ah I didn't notice the GLBSE in the title... or maybe you added it .

TYGRR.BOND-P
Bond Sales: Any sale of shares must be done on the open market or through the issuer. Issuer will repurchase shares for 1BTC.

Have you got a link to anywhere that Goat has stated he will buy back the bonds for 1 BTC. I've scanned the thread and may have missed it, but I never saw it stated explicitly. I'm trying to do some comparison calculations of running yields and yields to maturity for the various perpetual bonds.

EDIT: From the contract:

The bond will not be bought back unless BTCST refunds the deposit.

It's not in the terms and conditions, but Goat committed to buying back the bonds provided Pirate will return the funds.

Okay, thanks. Missed that.

I've made a spreadsheet comparing the running yields and the yields to maturity of the various perpetual passthrough bonds. I've had to make various assumptions, so if you want to test your own assumption, click on the tab at the bottom of the sheet and copy the sheet to a new spreadsheet.

tl;dr: Despite the difference in face value coupon rates, the actual running yields for current buyers are very similar. Yield over your holding period depends on number of bonds and your holding period.

Nice thread and analysis. Just wanted to clarify some minor points regarding FOO.PPPPPPPPPPPT:

FOO.PPPPT
Bond Recall: No policy stated on forced bond recall.
Pirate Rate Change: Rate change policy not stated.

Bond Recall: I have a clause which states that I can recall at any time, at a rate of 1.0 BTC + one week's interest.
Pirate Rate Change policy: The contract says that the interest is tied to the interest rate that the entire fund gets from BS&T.

Thanks bitfoo, the OP is updated.
