The 10Q says that ARTG sold some receivables; receivables were higher than previous quarters. Some customers may have been having a little more trouble paying on time than previously - that's no surprise given the slowdown. The Street is choosing to cast this as a. weakness in ATG's customers, indicating future weakness, and b. ATG "cooking the numbers" to make the quarter.

I don't believe that either is the case; some bump in receivables is totally logical in the current environment, and - why not sell the receivables to book earned revenue?

Possibly, the Street sees the opportunity to mark ATG down to price the secondary more favorably.

This is a buying opportunity in one of the best companies out there today, IMO.

Regards,
Jon
