I dumped my older stuff on the SM last night and easily picked up some longer term loans.
Also increased my holdings on PB77.
I havent got a clue what a bot is. Just got lucky maybe.
If you feel insulted i would try another platform

I live in Thailand and still managed to pick loans up on the SM. A lot of it is down to luck

SS deadlines are a little bit hit and miss to be polite :-) My expectation is that this will go live on Wednesday morning but if anything comes up in the meantime that causes Savingstream any concern then they would be right to push the launch back until they have sorted it out. Savingstream have never had a set time for loan launches. I would call it guidance rather than a deadline. I do agree. And i said it tongue in cheek , But i treat all of there dates as a rough estimate.

Its gone already.. I take all 4 bedfordshire loans will go live at the same time tomorrow? Is it usually midnight (UK time)? There is no usual time. It will be when SS is ready! Their email notification did say Wednesday morning - although this is not necessarily an infallible guide. SS deadlines are a little bit hit and miss to be polite :-)

Some of us think about a PG the same way most would think about a chocolate teapot. So... would you rather there be none at all? Come on now; It's there as a last resort, and better than nothing at all. Cooling Dude. You cant have any loans on REBS where PG are not worth FA

I think it's a typo. At first I thought it must be famine in reference to the shortage of loans available since xmas. Then realised that didn't make sense, so should read gaming, implying there is a casino being run from the grain stores. I think there is more chance of a casino happening here than the other place in Hull :-)

Its interesting reading this thread as a newbie to see peoples views on what the SM is for. Some see its role soley as a means to get out of loans, others as a way to diversify. I suppose as a newbie, I see it as a means to diversify. If I'd been around for a couple of years and was fully invested, I'd probably sit in the other camp. The truth of the matter is it should really exist for both. I currently have a small sum invested that I am struggling to increase. OK I could just bide my time or I could get fed up and leave the platform. SS have no idea how much I plan to invest so they could be turning away a multimillion investment, or just someone with a few coppers. Trying to be fair to both sides, I see absolutely no reason why a solution along the lines that mikes1531 suggested wherby a bid limit was in place for the first few minutes or even a post successful bid lockout for 5-30 minutes preventing any further bids if you get some. I think if the lockout was introduced, you could probably do away with the reCaptcha step. At least then if you're a big player, you won't bid for small pieces. I think you will find once a new loan goes live. There will be a chance to pick up on the SM. You just have to be lucky the rest of the time.

There were two boatyards. I seemed to have the impression that they were the same borrower but I can't remember why. Edit: I think OG is enjoying disrupting this conversation It may of been because the borrower was sorting out SIPP

I unsubscribed to the emails a while ago as they were pretty pointless.
