It’s anyone’s guess what the security does tomorrow but I think you have the best and most favorable model for it.

Cheers Carlos and we should all look forward to 2024.

It is kind of difficult to understand.

For example, "SPS LP increased for free in the absence of dividend to UST" is subtle. I would say "NWS was never stopped. Starting 2021, Fannie and Freddie were allowed to keep their earnings to build up capital. But, dollar-for-dollar, their retained earnings are added into their loan (i.e. Liquidation Preference). When things resume normal, Fannie and Freddie are required to pay 10% of their LP as dividend. NWS payments were deferred to a later date. (Can someone come up with an easier terms, please ?).
