I honestly still don't know if that's too much or too little, in this environment with high unemployment.

At first I find these posts to be comical and entertaining, but then I think about how people have and will continue to fall for such incredible scams.Anthony, why don't you just continue to grow you business and find good deals?

2.375% sounds incredible.
