dumb question ... if anyone follows these posts..

Highest Yield Rejected (%) 2.1000

why would someone reject a higher bid ???

Late response but these are bonds, they have a fixed payout so a higher yield means that bidder offered a lower price for the bonds. Someone who offered a higher price for the bond would receive a lower yield because of the fixed payout. They would therefore reject higher yields and accept lower yields, because they are maximising the capital raised.
