Already bagged an A+/48 at 11.6 today, so some C-/60 at 14.9 would make it a very good start to the week

Alas I don't have the funds to take a punt at many loans in the hope of an early close; hence information like this is invaluable.

It doesn't take huge funds (unless you want to play bigtime, like certain nameless bots). But you do need to heed the words of Johnny Cash's 'The Gambler' ("know when to walk away, know when to run .."). If they are going to close early they usually (with the possible exception of this one!) do it within a few hours of becoming fully funded (few working hours, weekends normally don't count) or a few hours before the scheduled close.
Looks like there may actually BE a few early closers around again .. there was a serious drought after Xmas for several months. There is a school of thought which equates early close to desperate &/or careless though, so holding for the long term may not be a great plan, even if the rate looks tasty. (Same song: "You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em")

Already bagged an A+/48 at 11.6 today, so some C-/60 at 14.9 would make it a very good start to the week 12939 A+: how did you happen to choose this one? Or do you use the blunderbuss approach?

Just the blunderbuss approach I'm afraid. I'm happy to throw bids at anything where I judge I can more than likely sell them at +3 within a month. I generally don't look into a loan in detail until the rate comes down or it closes and I then consider whether I want to keep some for my loan book.

Pepperpot I owe you a pint!

When's drawdown then?? I'm hopeful it'll be soon as it's already showing the little pie-chart "You are lending to this business" symbol next to it in my Watchlist. This symbol seems to have started appearing pre-drawdown on a few loans recently, and I've not yet had one fail (famous last words ...) I too had some in needlessly at 14.8%, but I was lucky still to have a bit in at 15% too

Good day for early closers! Just bagged a lovely (albeit small) bit of 12864, A-rated with bids still in up to 13.4%. Only problem is that it's a firm of lawyers and I'm very dubious about lawyers. One to be sold on before too long I think.  |
