POP Payment Calculation - Likely going up again. 
12-17-2025
With 4 of 5 day average reported, the POP payment trend is up for the change on Friday (12/19). 
 It should be around 2 cents on Friday plus or minus unless there is a big rally on the Wednesday Close.  
The POP payment change lags the March Futures and short term opportunity should occur if we see a couple of signigicant rallies during the next week.  The POP payment limits our downside risk at an almost 1:1 ratio (of course with a lag).
