Interesting take on all this... I pretty much agree with the perspective. Right now, time is the valued commodity. If you're not required to make a profit this year, you can sit on these loans until they start to work. Eventually they will if you change the interest rate and generate less profit per loan.

Not to worry......the US fundamentals are strong! Leading indicators fall 0.5% in August By Rex Nutting Last update: 10:03 a.m. EDT Sept. 18, 2008Comments: 17 WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. economy looks to weaken further in coming months. The index of leading economic indicators fell 0.5% in August after a 0.7% drop in July, the Conference Board reported Thursday. "The good news on lower gas prices is more than offset by renewed, even intensified, financial market turmoil. The economy right now is so slow that it doesn't have much cushion for shocks like the recent bailouts and bankruptcies," said Ken Goldstein, labor economist at the private research group. marketwatch.com
