The account growth numbers sure support the plowing of would be profits into advertising expense to grow the business towards critical mass. Which is a much better use of the cash flowing in than sending 40% of it off to Uncle Sam as taxes. Think of it as the "real" advertising cost is only 60% paid by EGRP, and 40% paid by tax savings. (OK the tax part is stretching things a little, but see the point)
