I don't know if that's what the TA did. But I do know that's what I hope they did.
Once again, you are only right in the short term. When bad times happen, and they will, our "not at risk" PS monetization will become very much at risk. Yet in good times or in bad, we will never get back this level of PS under any circumstance. PS concessions from now on are a one way check valve.
