tip, pruguy doesn't have a clue as to what this all means. It would appear that one of the credit card banks MNBA is doing the financing. So, how does this work - like GMAC and the car dealers? I don't know how it works now, but some time ago car dealers would get a cut for referring the buyer to GMAC but also got stuck with the car and a share of loss when the buyer defaulted. How will this work for GTW? So GTW might not be getting into the financing biz themselves- they are just chasing around trying to dream up new schemes to push product. Regards, DWW

I don't follow you at all....either you like financing or you don't you can't say it's o.k. for one company and not another. I stand by my statement and stand by the many innacuracies touted on this thread....As I mentioned a little earlier, I am long CPQ. I have never been to this thread before, but a simple and clear observation.......There are few longs here and lots of shorts......I read the last 40 comments and didn't read one bearish comment that was anything other than innacurate or speculation........This is a really bad SI thread and I think I'll go back to the others I live in where real information is passed back and forth
