Below readers can post in the comments section items they believe are important to seen right away by all other readers.
For instance if we are not at our computer and a reader spots a new issue being issued they can post it below where others can come for ‘breaking news’ from other readers.
We want to keep this page ‘fresh’ so we will slick it off every 50 days so the items below remain only newer items.
We only ask that comments beyond the breaking news be kept to other pages or this page will be ‘out of control’ and not fulfilling what I hope is a handy alert page.

BUSEV is now trading as BUSEL If you have a bid in you might want to change it.
MFA-C sure seems like a bargain today. I already have a full position, so I haven’t been buying, but it’s been trading at about $24.30 this morning. It switched to floating in March, and is going ex-div in early June as a floater. It’s got about $0.50 accrued ($23.80 stripped), and will be paying a 9.9% coupon (TSFR3M+5.35%+0.26%) for the first time at the end of June, making it a 10.4% EY. Unless you think they are going bankrupt (please tell me if they are!) this feels underpriced. I think it’s cheap because the markets still aren’t fully pricing in the new floating rate.
