QUIP ON QUIPS

If my fading memory serves, QUIPS were something MLPFS (when they still were MLPFS) dreamed up as another "product". [To me: A "product is yet another proprietary derivative to sell thus making a commission or fee where there was none before .]

As I remember it, it was a prepackaged strip - that is a set of bonds where the coupons were detached from the bond principle to trade freestanding.

[Others then copied the same idea and MLPFS sued. Don't remember who wons what, but each of the others naturally had another name for their product.]

Trouble is - I can't remember which side of the split a QUIP was. Ask a local ML (FKA MLPFS) office.....
