Correction: Credit Suisse-Colorado Story
In a Nov. 24 story about Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC buying back auction rate securities from investors, The Associated Press, relying on information from the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, reported erroneously how much the company was buying back.
