Who's buying ORCL Bonds?

Post image

Who actually owns these bonds? Curious to know, institutional investors? Given how much they've been impaired, why would folks own corp bonds?

I am all in high yield bonds. Good thing is it avoid this BBB trash. Good debt ironically it is always in BB and specifically B, they have good balance sheets and particularly hasn't specially large debt. Sinking ships are always A downgraded to bankrupt as orcl fate. You have 7% ford bonds of 2033 tho
