Hi PYUECK always good to chew thing over before panic selling.
The reason to hold Bonds is they are safer than Equity, if they are not able to repay the Bonds in full on the due date then the Equity will be worthless, a deal is usually sorted out in preference to going bust, that is why PMO shareholders put up 60% of the assets into new company but only get 5% share of it. Bond holders did much better not sure of all the details don't hold PMO, but the general principal will be should your worries about Enquest come about, Bondholders will control the assets, Equity will lose everything, and the MD owns 11% of that Equity so is very determined to make sure that doesn't happen. Oil is looking bright and as I said by the time we see 90p the risk of default will be seen as so low I don't see point of panic selling then, it is not impossible that these will trade at a premium towards the end with interest rates at .25% and these paying 7%
We all make our own decisions I am just glad someone panicked and sold them to me at 35p but the risk was a lot higher then.
