I darent eat an apple at the moment or he'll freak. Oh, I wouldn't dare ask him to vacate, let alone put him on the menu, it's just his perch I was contemplating. That's why I picked on ST (couldn't manage uncletone's in one sitting).

They have had a good go at killing the golden goose. Saving stream used to make a lot of comment on this forum about how the SM was better for sellers and its liquidity was a "feature" of the platform. They then provide a glut of loans to saturate it and create the opposite. There's no issue with the loans but now they have made it look like the loans are unappetising when they are fine. Anyone could see from a mile off they were not going to fill, why didn't they? The platform could lose its USPs of quick filling loans and liquid SM as they constantly chase huge loans. I think this depends on your definition of liquid really. There are a small number of loans that aren't selling on the SM at the moment, but most actually are. I put a fair number of loan parts up for sale in different loans at around 6am yesterday, none of them at all recent, and they've been chugging their way through their apparently long queues and getting steadily sold ever since - most recent one in the past half hour. There are still a handful to go. To me that still counts as functioning and liquid. Of course if you insist on them being sold within 5 minutes as has recently been the case (much to the dismay of everyone trying to buy) then the current situation would be seen to be illiquid, but that strikes me as a little unrealistic as a general expectation. As ever, a little patience is all that is required.

I'm toughing it, it's tough earning 12% Maybe some need to back to the bank and earn 0.1%.

I was one of the daft ones to put all my savings for deposit on a place at SS. I emailed them about it couple of weeks back asking for suggestion and they did forewarn about SM may not be liquid and suggested I sell of in that week itself. Thanks savingstream for giving my deposit a nice boost with your interest!

I gave up expecting loans to repay when expected BUT... If the Gloucestershire convent loans repay as promised 'within a month', then 'shortly', then 'shortly' again, this will put £3.7m back into lenders hands. Then the SM will look somewhat different. And there's a couple of em coming in to land in that field over there That looks like a pink PBL072 with wings...
