Now remember: unlike [[variation margin]], where only the [[in-the-money]] counterparty holds it, there are necessarily ''two'' bucket of [[Regulatory IM]] at all times: the stuff ''you'' have posted as security for [[mark-to-market]] moves against ''you'', and the stuff ''the other guy'' has posted as mark-to-market movements against ''her''. | |||
