Hi Neil, BE Aerospace jumped today. I suspect that it's on the news below, but I'm not certain of this (the sale of notes in a couple day's is in the last sentence of the article). The Company's stock should trading higher on the fundamentals alone, one would think, but as we know, many of these companies which accommodate the aerospace industry, are trading lower than you would think they would.

High-grade syndicate sources said Wednesday's issuance of large global deals by Ford Motor Credit and Merrill Lynch helped sate investor appetite for the time being, and debt issuance may also slow in anticipation of Friday's release of payroll data.

Harris Corp (HRS - news), a Florida-based communications company, was expected this week to sell $150 million in 30-year debt puttable in 10-years (A3/A-minus) via Morgan Stanley, sources said. Also in the high-grade sector, Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news; 6758.T) was expected in the near future to sell $1.5 billion in a five-year global deal via Goldman Sachs, sources said.
