Seems like a good idea with the Fed interest rate going up for a bank to invest in this sector. With rates going up Banks will be making tons more by doing absolutely nothing different so they can put some money towards some I guess risky assets like penny land.
Yeah in Expert Market... ready to be used at institutional pleasure! Money flow...and those tender offers at .01 on low OS entities speak volumes too. Back door covering?
The new Bank of America preferred won't be on the OTC for long:
Bank of America (BAC) priced an offering of $700 million worth of new Series SS non-cumulative preferred stock, offering a fixed dividend rate of 4.75%. The new shares were rated by all three of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch, at Baa3, BBB-, and BBB+ respectively. Trading will take place temporarily on the OTC under the symbol (BACXL), before moving to permanent symbol BAC-S on the New York Stock Exchange where it will join BAC’s many other preferreds, including the 4.25% Series QQ (BAC-Q) which was issued back in October, and the 4.125% Series PP (BAC-P) which was issued a year ago.
