Perfect environment for this strategy! With rates heading down and spreads narrowing due to the Feds mandate we all take more credit risk, it appears that the "maturity wall" of 2011-2013 will be easily scaled - at least for those issuers that have any chance of survival. The price to pay down the road is simply too hazy to be bothered with now. Feels like 2005.
