**What happens when {{gmraprov|income}} is paid on {{gmraprov|collateral}}.
**What happens to {{gmraprov|Income Payments}} on {{gmraprov|Purchased Securities}}. In a {{nutshell}}, under a Repurchase Transaction you “[[manufacture]]” income back to the {{gmraprov|Seller}} during the life of the {{gmraprov|Transaction}}, but do not account separately for {{gmraprov|Accrued Interest}} (it will be factored into the market price of the securities for margining purposes); in a Buy/Sell Back transaction the Buyer doesn’t manufacture {{gmraprov|Income Payments}} back to the {{gmraprov|Seller}}, but does account for {{gmraprov|Accrued Interest}}.


====The Jolly Contrarian’s explanation====
====The JC’s explanation====
Unless you have a taste for {{tag|paradox}} (and who, in our shadow-flecked modern world doesn’t?) there’s ''no'' difference between a [[repo]] and a [[sell/buy-back]], and even seasoned industry professionals get fidgety and make their excuses to pop off to the bathroom if you ask them to give one. To the sentiment that [[buy/sell-back]]s are undocumented, the lie is somewhat given to that by the fact that the {{gmra}} expressly incoporates the {{gmraprov|Buy/Sell Back Transaction}} as a defined term ''with its own freaking Annex'', meticulously negotiated into the master by [[negotiator]]s the world over.
