Maybe our resident bond expert might be lurking and he can jump in and answer that. I agree that doesn't make sense.

Hello Paul, That table is a joke. Just goes to show -- don't believe everything you read on the web :)) Some current spreads over Treasurys for ya: (10 year maturities) Agencies (implied AAA) + 90 bps (i.e., 0.90%) AA industrials + 100 A industrials + 140 BBB industrials + 180 For corporates, these are rough averages -- the average dispersion of individual issues around the mean is quite high at present. The corporate market features lots of dislocations at present, as liquiditiy is terrible. Regards, John
