Anybody notice how few 36 month notes have been available? I noticed today at one point there were no B or lower grades available. This seems to be a downward trend with bower ears having a bigger appetite for 60's. Maybe some of the old timers can share some trends they have experienced?
Where are the NEW NOTES??? Yes I have noticed:
For the past 3 days, at least for the 2PM and 6PM drops, there were zero notes posted.
Even with High Risk settings/filtering such as:
Monthly Income = $0
Min Length of Emplyment = 0
Inquiries 6 months = 5
Notes: B, C, D, E, F & G
Review Status: Unchecked
Public Records: Unchecked
Collections Excluding Medical = 2+
Notes: 36 mo & 60 month
I would offer that this is intentional to either capitulate to big money, balance spreadsheets, focus associates efforts elsewhere, or to foster/encourage the funding of older notes.
Didn't believe you until I looked. Currently 29 36 month loans available on the platform, all As. The other 1000+ are 60 month loans graded B or lower.
Someone a while back showed data where it looked like LC was smoothing loan issuance around the end of the quarter. I wonder if they are doing that now?
6 A.M. loan drop, only 39 new loans, 33 were 36's and 6 60's......
Made my deposit last Friday, was supposed to hit today, but alas tomorrow. Hope this is not a reoccurring week long theme. But under 900 loans on LC site, and only 8 falling into my filter, guess not a big deal anyway.
Will see if there is a large amount on Friday and Saturday like last week.
Looks like a few more dropping on the 10:00 a.m., picked up 12 in the filter for 36.
Any updates on this?
I went from 6 days to fund based on my filters at NSR and i am not at 10.
Yes. A big portion of my buying is 36 month loans. and I have not invested in any loans in 2 days through automatic investing.
When i dont buy loans, the amount of days to use up my funds increases which is why I worded my comment the way that i did...
again today, no loans were invested in. Wondering if everyone else still sees a limit in supply for the 36 month loans.
I have multiple portfolios/filters that I alternate between. One of them (my most conservative) is all 36 month B&C notes - I picked up 11 new 36m notes today (all B though).
After reading the above posts its noted that note posting is being controlled or being held in Que.
The 2PM(PST) & 6PM(PST) note drops were only 36 month Notes. Most of the notes posted were submitted: "Loan Submitted": 3/3/16 & 3/4/16 (7 days old).
Looks like an improvement of loan drops, 10:00 a.m. picked up 12 notes, also had 5 at the 6:00 a.m. drop.
Anyone wondering where the 36's were got their answer over the past four days:
Thu 3/10 thru Tue 3/15 and continuing.
Why there was a hiatus who knows, but plenty of listings now.
Yes they are back, let's chalk it up to an market anomally!
Many more notes are now "Approved" when they first appear. I believe the dearth of 36 month notes occurred as they transitioned to this new process. I like it. My Committed Cash value is now $450 while it was usually $1000+, and my "Notes Not Issued" are down also.
What would be the purpose of holding loans until they are approved, though? And why do it with some loans and not with others?
Maybe they were holding the loans back for a different reason and decided to process them for approval while they were waiting.
We're all just guessing!

Supply has been unprecedented the past week. I have never invested so much so quickly since I began in 2013.
Back then I was buying A's and B's in addition to the D's and E's that I buy now.
I think LC's interest rate increases in these risky loans has made them much more attractive to me.
Couple more drops and I'll be out of money.
I resisted the temptation to lower my standards and cash just kept building up.
That was okay by me. Now volume's through the roof and I am out of money.
I'm decreasing my note size to enhance diversity. I'll see if I'm able to stay fully invested with $25 notes.
Been buying an awful lot of E's lately; a result of the interest rate increase.
I expect volume to dry up as usual when we get closer to the end of the quarter.
