I notice that too. But now the 1 year punters who were trying to get a "delicious" slice earlier got stuck with RS for at least 48 hours for any unmatched orders. It’s better than I expected. Money back in the bank in less than 24 hours. Better than getting a place from a e/w bet on odds on favourite, no losses at least. Why would you ever place an e/w bet on odds on?!

Why would you ever place an e/w bet on odds on?! Well, SP gone down below even money without taking the Fixed price. Of course someone could have placed and fixed odds place only with the exchange

I guess that's possible though there's almost never a benefit to taking SP these days. 2. Now that wouldn't be an e/w bet would it?

6.3% available now.
My lowest 1yr (4.7%) has just repaid and I've immediately matched a borrower offer of 6.3%. £17k left of it

Got matched up to 9.0% on 1yr They must be selling some of my 9% loans at last! Happy to help. My money is recycling rather than new (not doing that just now). Also have a withdrawal in the 5yr pending.
Edit:
I got the impression recently you'd exited RS, when you posted the following in this thread: "Don't like this reduced liquidity. Have requested the release of the rest of my Ratesetter investment. Small sell out fee. Happy to sit things out for a while and return as and when."
Are you still waiting for the sell orders to go through?

Got matched up to 9.0% on 1yr wow. I hope this filters through to the access market, but at the moment it stuck down at 3%

All these high percentages sound great, if they work out.
I hope you have thought it through. As I see things, the extra risk right now is astronomical.
We have entire industries verging on going bust. Airlines, trains, cinemas, to name a few. All running, like so many busineses, on a knife-edge of massive outgoings and debts finely balanced against slightly-larger incomings. Take away 10% of their incomings, and they issue dire profit warnings, fall into heavy losses, shed thousands of jobs. Now, instead, take away 90% of their incomings: what's going to happen?
The same goes for a lot of small business, heavily indebted and/or with huge fixed costs like rent and business rates.
All these industries and businesses employ people. A surprising number of those people also live on a similar knife-edge. A decent enough salary, but with only a couple of £K in the bank and maybe £100 spare at the end of each month. If they lose their job, or go onto statutory sick pay at £94 a week, they're stuffed. Who are they going to choose not to pay? The landlord? The mortgage lender? The Sky Sports subscription? That unsecured loan from that purple website for the new car they couldn't really afford?

Yes, I am. I don't want to be. Please fault my logic. Please. I desperately want you to.
