You can compare RS to Z, and SS to MT, but IMO it makes no sense to compare SS to RS. I can compare RS to SS because the symbols "£" and "%" have a universal meaning, We all know what "£" means, but I do not think that everyone understands what "%" means. In this context "%" means risk. So SS at 12% is a riskier place than RS at 6%. My point was that you are likely to get your 6% at RS, you are not likely to get your 12% at SS (in the long term). If not 12% then what, well as I and others have said before perhaps 7% to 9%. Could be better, could be worse, no one knows, but expecting 12% is a fools hope. . You can of course compare RS to SS but as I said IMO it makes no sense to do so. Your idea that SS will return 7% to 9% is fanciful. Anyone on the platform who exits now by successfully selling out will get 12%. Someone who suffers a big loss without being sufficiently diversified may get a large negative return. So, probably, will all of us if the platform collapses.The point is that RS is "smooth" and losses are predictable whereas SS is "lumpy" and losses are unpredictable.
