LTD & AEA
I can't decide what I think of these two. LTD seems to own too many brands, all of which I don't expect will do very well. But every chick I know shops at Victoria's Secret.
AEA is a paycheck advance place. I seem them everywhere, and they seem to be making money, but I'm clueless as to what the future holds for that industry. Any thoughts? |

Re: LTD & AEA
Stay away from the paycheck places for now. The FDIC changed the rules on these guys and they are going through a transition period...it will be tough to predict how they will perform.

Re: LTD & AEA
I'm confused. I admit I know very, very little about finance. But what does the FDIC have to do with check advances? I thought they just insured deposits, not loans.

Re: LTD & AEA
Thanks. I called AEA investor relations. I doesn't look good.
Any thoughts on LTD? |

My understanding of the new regs is that they limit each loan client to 3 months of loans per year. That's still a lot of loans. I'm still holding a significant investment in this area until proven otherwise. |

Re: LTD & AEA
6 loans per year max. Most of their regular customers are borrowing way more often than this. And in the case of AEA, about 22%-24% of their net income would be affected. July 1 is the expected ruling date.
