What percentage of junk bonds are bought at issuance and held to maturity by investors? 0.5%? Maybe?

For literally everyone else, it is, in fact, price that matters.

I made the distinction between price and total return above because an asset's price can remain more or less constant while still being a profitable investment: for example a utility company with a high dividend yield.

Let me try another tack. Would you rather own non-voting equity or junior debt in a company that is about to strike a deal that will make them wildly profitable?
