The bond market is nearly always a better guide to the value of equity than the equity share price since the latter – in situations of distress – is largely driven by bulletin board morons in denial who are trading the stock while institutions are unable to sell large positions so just sit there like rabbits in the headlights waiting for the end.

David Haggith, the publisher of “The Great Recession Blog” is a cheery fellow. He started his website twelve years ago, shortly after the housing bubble.

I.e. if you buy these bonds in the secondary market you will get an annual return (assuming that Gulf can repay) of 15% per annum. That is a junk bond type return.
Now ask yourself
