Those are significant decreases.

They are trying to get most people to lock in now, 7 days before the bomb drops

Yes, I think it's mind games when you look at their recent history with their 5 year rate: 4.45 to 5, 5 to 4.65, then 4.65 to 5 and now 5 to 4.5. This partly exposes how volatile things are and no one is certain about what will happen next.

Thanks, frugal lady.
Yes, of course. I'd mis-read the date as 22nd.

All of this might not be strategy... just part of the buy-out machinations.
