Yeah, that is a bit much to wage through.

How about, what's the worst case scenario for them? Lets say overnight one month rates go to 4% and the two year loana that they've bought stay at 1.7%. Then they can't borrow anymore to buy loans. So......what would happen? Would they go bankrupt, or would they have to wait until their two year loans are paid to initiate new positions after the get the principal from those loans repaid?
