BBT-A vs BBT-B

BBT-A traded 166K shares today (Nov 10) and went down .22. BBT-B traded 1/3 of that and went up .12. That in spite of the fact that BBT-A is closer to its Xdiv and is yielding .75% lower. Does anyone have any idea what causes that kind of anomaly?

Missed dividend payment

If a cummulative preferred misses a dividend payment and then you sell the stock, when they eventually pay back the missed payments do you still get the missed payment even though you no longer own it ?

Beyond Call Date List

LEH-F

Does anyone know how or why LEH was able to call LEH-F just weeks before the LEH bankruptcy? The market certainly knew LEH was in trouble, so I find it strange that LEH was able to refinance LEH-F at at price that made sense to them...
