Bonds have rebounded a bit from their lows, but my timing in buying 2 new bonds wasn't that good as they declined more after I used bulk of the Shell proceeds to purchase them. But once again, I would repeat: If a bond price drops after you purchase it, it isn't really a 'loss'. It just means you have locked in a lousier yield than what you could have locked in now. For example 4% yield vs 4.8% yield.
Details on the 2 small sized bonds (credits to Fund Supermart):
Factsheet | WSTP 5.000% Perpetual Corp (USD) (fundsupermart.com)
Factsheet | VW 3.500% Perpetual Corp (EUR) (fundsupermart.com)
I still have some GBP cash from Shell proceeds left to add more of those small size bonds. The GBP cash is currently still being held in Interactive Brokers, so I have manually added it into the table.
My margin ratio remains very healthy/low at 75% so I would still be able to add one lot of usual sized bonds.
