Dear Constantine, love your blog ,Could you explain in a post how it makes sense to sell BOI bonds that were earning ireland 77 million euro a year for a once off profit of 10 million !!!

May be someone with a CFA can explain this one. Given the conditions in the market, these bonds should be trading at a premium. 10mln seems to be a low premium to me, but do keep in mind - these are convertible bonds, so higher risk.
