<<couple of interesting things. one, accounts are DOWN sequentially, if i read the release right. but managed loans are UP 7% sequentially; so that would mean that each account has a 7% larger balance, while at the same time delinquenicies and charge-offs are moving up. that can't be good.>> Excellent point. Larger balances by JqP prior to declaring Ch. 11! <<the other is the decline in marketing expense. you'll have to excuse my skepticism but i frankly do not believe that they cut their marketing expense by literally half in the quarter from the June quarter.>> Can't see how that's possible (unless ad rates have been cut in half!) They run those godd*mn commercials every 5 minutes out here all day long!<NG>
