Dealbreaker is a gossipy tabloid style website billing itself as a tabloid – most of the offerings are vapid commentaries on topics as diverse as Bernie Madoff’s pants and the amount of cleavage being shown by business news commentators. Every now and then, though, they come up with something good; today there is an interesting post on the Nigerian banking system.

If anything, the preferred share market rally is accellerating, with PerpetualDiscounts up 75bp today, while FixedResets were down 14bp. Volume continued high, well spread out amongst the various classes.
