He finances these bonds with $2 million in investor capital and $98 million of overnight repurchase agreements (required haircut=2%) with an interest rate of 1%. After hours, negative news comes out on the evening news that increases yields on MBS by 25 basis points. Moreover, effective tomorrow, because of this bad news, repurchase agreement lenders will now require a haircut of 3% to lend to you via repurchase agreements with your MBS as collateral.
