Also, owners of ARS and ARPS (retirees, institutions and companies) got fleeced by lower LIBOR. When the auctions filed they went to a "penalty" right which was often a multiple (anywhere from 1.25x-1.75x) LIBOR plus a small spread (e.g., 50-100 bps), but with LIBOR scraping zero, that was still a tiny yield. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auction_rat.... 2012-07-23 08:43:40
