English to Dutch Bus/Financial Economics

Ik heb een vorige keer de vraag "mark to market" gesteld, maar ik heb nog steeds moeite met het woord "mark" in de volgende zinnen:

We have at all times somewhere around a $4 billion to $5 billion warehouse. Right now, it is about $4 billion of loans that we have originated to sell. It is a lower cost of market model. I think taking the mark somewhere from $0.95 down to between $0.85 and $0.89 depend upon the security in the quarter. That was a pretty dramatic move. Right now, that is above that and the index is above that mark, so we will see where that goes.

En:

The largest mark we had was about a $40 million write-down on our Hong Kong listed wind turbine gear manufacturer and we also wrote off our common stock in FGIC, about $36 million after tax.

En:

And then retained interest, we have about $1.5 billion of retained interest in the commercial finance book related to the securitizations we have done. Again, that is a mark -- that is not a credit mark, that is a mark based on the fact that the yields investors expect for securities like this have risen and so the present value of the discounted cash flow really came down and that is about $55 million in the quarter. I mean the spreads widened from the end of the year from 400 basis points to 1000 basis points depending upon those securitizations and what we had to discount the cash flows by. I think the dramatic mark to market there is totally based on the market conditions and basically, as long as we hold those securities to maturity, we are going to earn that back.
