What is the Blue List?
More properly known as the Blue List of Current Municipal Offerings, the Blue list is a daily publication that lists a wide variety of the current corporate and municipal bond offerings, along with basic data. Published by a subsidiary of Standard and Poor’s since 1935, the publication has historically been printed on blue paper, and is updated for each daily issue. As a means of getting the latest information on municipal bonds, the Blue List is considered to be the most comprehensive and accurate listing available today. Along with listing the investment opportunities, the Blue List contains market commentaries on the past performance of the bond issues, as well as projections on future performance. The detail contained within the report also provides verified fixed-income statistics, which can also play an important role in determining whether or not to get involved with a particular bond issue. The information contained in the Blue List is researched thoroughly before publication,
In 1952, Miss Jane Llewellyn Ott began a list of the horses proven in every line to trace directly to the Bedouin bred horses of the desert. In 1961 the “Blue Arabian Horse Catalog” was published. This is the “Blue Catalog.” Miss Ott continued this catalog until the early 70’s, when she closed her research. The organization known as Al Khamsa was born to continue her work. There are some variations as Al Khamsa accepts some horses not listed in the “Blue Catalog”. All these horses trace directly, in every line, to horses from Bedouin Tribes, or to exceptional individuals, such as Abbas Pasha and Lady Ann Blunt, who only purchased horses from these sources. The terms, “Blue List” and “Al Khamsa” indicate that this horse is believed pure by these meticulous organizations. The term Asil, meaning purebred, is a German based organization with the same goals. We proudly own 4 Blue List horses!
