 i hold MIN ( 'free-carried' )


 i MIGHT have taken a bite here if denominated in Australian Dollars  and offered through Australian markets


 9.25% is a little low for me but it is senior debt


 will be less likely to add more in the  mid-term  with this potential time-bomb in their treasure chest
