Not sure if it has any real effect, but the last thing anybody wants is WM looking into it and limiting MO to something like $100 or $200.
It has no effect. I am sure the latest MG block was more of not the amount of each MO was being bought but the total amount in 1 transaction was being bought. I have no doubt that the Simon VGC effect since mid July has definitely elevated the MO numbers being issued and is being watched.
