BH's don't worry about factors of 2, just orders of magnitude ..

You need to recalibrate .. a BH is someone who takes £10-100k bites, £1k is just minnows nibbling. 8>. So where does that leave me with my £100 - £200 a time. A definite bottom feeder? No, I think minnows exist in the £100 to £1000 range, so you (and I) are those. Under £100 (you can't even bid that on Ly primary market IIRC) is plankton or krill. Biggest single loan part I ever saw held (again over on Ly) was £200k.

There was a lot of movement on the SM early this morning, and reasonable sized amounts. Someone bought in chunks of around £600, and at least ten of those chunks in one loan. I'm not sure I understand the need to chunk when you can buy and sell any sized part on MT.
What I really don't understand is people buying a £1 part in a loan with a month or two to run. Is the 1p of interest really worth the mouse clicks?

SophieThing I know we have been there before, but it looks like the 'Bots' are back. Trying to load my IFISA by selling from the standard account and buying in the IFISA. On two different screens I press sell on the standard account then immediately press invest, amount execute on the IFISA account. Nearly every time user i***1 beats me to it. It is not possible to refresh the screen, see the offer, and execute a sale quicker than I can when I am expecting it. I have tried medium and very small sales - they all get gobbled up I am sure i***1 must have a Bot running which I thought was against Moneything's T&Cs The effect is that I cannot operate a MT IFISA, so I well may have to give up and move the IFISA to another platform - disappointing after waiting so long for MT's IFISA.

Morning, Just had a look at the logs and it doesn't appear to be any bots at work. There are however currently nearly 45 users active on the site at the moment (which is higher than normal for a Saturday morning), perhaps because it was mentioned that someone was selling some popular pawn loans. I would also mention that all ISA accounts start with a 'i' and end with a '1' and there are currently 7 active ISA user this morning. Other than keep an eye out for potential bots which would go against our Ts&Cs, there is not a lot we can do to help facilitate users to be able to transfer their holdings via the SM without going against the rules. I would only suggest that you might try a quieter time or perhaps wait until the end of the weekend when others may have completed their ISA purchases. Kind regards, Ed

Kind regards, Ed No sympathy for trying to engineer tax avoidance (correct term), please try the early hours of the morning to give overseas investors a chance!

Things,have you considered my idea for a "real " SM Ablrate is the model for you to think about.Then and ONLY then ,can you/we shift this massive backlog of transactions. I really cannot understand your ( current ) position on this. Moneything was ALWAYS a cut above the rest ,but you have exactly the same problem as Lendy...stuffed full of SM sales which,if customers ( and please remember WE are your customers) were allowed to post bids and offers ,would /could quickly remove the log-jam.Nothing new here ,its just so frustrating for us customers ,that we cannot liquidate our positions ,or indeed increase them at prices the buyer/seller dictates.Buying/Selling at par is NOT a ' real " SM. Many Thanks

Perfect example of not relying on SM when making your investment decisions.

Perfect example of not relying on SM when making your investment decisions. Yes but MT still need a semi liquid SM and the only way is to allow discounting.

I thought you believed the 'p2p' community was already fully invested ?
I know discounting solves all manner of problems apparently but provides fresh funds as well - blimey
Suppose people could just platforms with discounting if that's what they want
hey ho

Many Thanks I think you will find it has been considered on more than one occasion in fact there has been some polls on here. But as always it is very split. Some platforms do some don't. People make there choice when they join. But at present no new loans means its immaterial.

MT offer interest while on sale. Abl's SM has been a boon in the current climate (but inadvertently is now my smallest platform). Rather than repeatedly lambasting various platforms ad nauseam perhaps webski could simply invest on AC, abl, FS, TC, Blend et al and then diversify into other platforms if they move to his preferred model. I think they, and us, are aware of his wishes. ISAs may provide some respite.

I'd find p2p much less interesting if every sm worked the same. Part of the fun for me is forming different strategies for different sites.
