In December, I wrote a article recommending the purchase of the Frontier Communications Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares, Series A (FTRPR) as my Best Investing Idea of 2016. Given the 30% decline in the share price and steep declines in the common shares of Frontier (NYSE:FTR) since that time, confidence in the security has very clearly waned even below the level experienced at the time of the first publication (December 7th, 2016, perhaps an unfortunate selection of publication date).
