Bilow, Interesting how when the percentage increases you call attention to the increase by saying something like, "Wow! The percentage increased! Look out!" and when the percentage decreases you shift your focus to the absolute number say, "now only 328% more expensive..." This is an example of spin. (Bilow isn't bad at it, frankly. He knows that we are likely to forget his little remarks at the beginning of these updates as each week passes, so we won't notice the pattern. Try looking at a few past updates.) If an increase in the percentage is bad for RMBS, isn't a decrease good? Why not say that rather than shifting the focus to something more convenient to your viewpoint? You do claim to be fair and objective, after all. M
