Interesting? - Arrears by Credit Grade graph at the bottom of the Marketplace Statistics page, shows individual grade arrears values - the values I find interesting are the 181 days plus for C (0.13%) vs D (0.15%) and E (0.45%) vs F (0.46%) - very similar for these two pair of grades - does that suggest that they have similar default rates and, for example, if you invest in E grades, you might as well invest in F grades?

Perhaps I'm reading too much into these values?...

Do most arrears "progress" from 121-180 days to default status without reaching 181 days in arrear? If that's the case then the 3.77% of F grades in arrears 121-180 days (Vs. 2.77% of E grades) would indicate the likelihood of a greater % of F grades about to go into default.

Just checking Investor FAQ:
"If we are unable to collect from the Borrower within 120 days, the loan is considered defaulted and moves into a "charged off" status. In some cases, loans may not be charged off at 120 days if there is a reasonable likelihood of payments being made."

It sounds like only a very few arrears would make it past 180 days without being defaulted earlier. The comparative 91-120 days in arrears figures of 2.80% for E grades Vs 4.81% for F grades suggest most defaults have occurred prior to being 181 days in arrear.
