Basis Point(s)
I was actually the runner up after Ryan Seacrest for the gig on Wheel of Fortune ;)
BP or BPS stands for Basis Point.
This is a unit of measurement for interest rates that are equal to 1/100th of 1.0%.
For example, if the Bank of Canada increased the overnight lending rate by 25 Basis Points, this also means it was increased by 0.25%.
Now, off to enjoy my prize!
