Colour picture phones drive growth at Carphone
Wednesday 05 November 2003
Mobile phone handsets could be in short supply this Christmas, Carphone Warehouse chief executive Charles Dunstone warned yesterday.
Handsets in stock or confirmed for delivery would be sufficient if demand were similar to last year, he said, but should sales boom as they did in 2000, there would be a shortage.
Growing competition bet-ween networks and an array of new handsets would drive growth at least into the first quarter of next year, he said.
One factor is whether 3G handsets from Hutchison arrive. Mr Dunstone said: "They tell us we will get the handsets by Christmas. It won't be the end of the world if they don't turn up, but the delay is very frustrating. When we do get them they sell out in a matter of minutes."
Mr Dunstone claims handset makers overdid the gloom when placing orders for components in April and May, and there is now a shortage of screens, particularly colour ones.
He said: "The world is going colour screen crazy and the manufacturers can't keep up. The fighting between the manufacturers is over. Whoever can produce most will have the largest market share."
Carphone Warehouse rep-orted underlying profits up 68.8 per cent in the 26 weeks to 27 September. Pre-tax profit fell to £3.1m from £17.7m. Last year's figure was boosted by an exceptional gain of £13.2m. A maiden interim dividend of 0.4p will be paid.
Mr Dunstone said like-for-like sales in the core retail chain, which opens its 500th outlet this week, were up 15.5 per cent.
He described progress at the Opal fixed-line operation as impressive, with revenue up 52.4 per cent to £105.8m in the first half. The Talktalk service had exceeded expectations and a more aggressive rollout of the service was announced last month.
In Europe, Mr Dunstone said the highlights were France and Spain, which were becoming significant high-growth contributors to turnover.
Belgium was now profitable, as was Germany since the integration of the operations there with Hutchison, the German service provider acquired in June.
Non-British growth, exc-luding the Hutchison acquisition, was 43 per cent on top of a 47 per cent gain last time.
Mr Dunstone said he exp-ected to create a further 1,000 jobs over the next 12 months through new store openings and a call centre in Warrington.
The shares, which bottomed at 50p in March, added 3.25p to 133p yesterday. They are now around their highest level for two years.

The barbarity of the response to protest by the Syrian regime - bullets, shabihas and tanks that soon graduated to chemical weapons and TNT barrels - also weaponised an equally radical bunch of people who carry with them the cloak of religiosity although they do not care a jot about the future governance of Syria, says regional analyst Dr Harry Hagopian.

I'm kinda thinkin', we need another(/different?) letter...
true......not sure what else the company can do other than repurchase some of the convertables. I have been thinking and wonder if thats what is holding back the stock from taking off. the fear of the rest of the notes being converted into more shares and people think that is dilutive?
Expenses for the first half of the year were $46 million. They should end up this year about flat on earnings with revenue about equal to expenses. Should have positive earnings in 2015. A good buy at these levels. Zacks pumping has given the stock a boost today.
Cash burn = revenue - expenses.
Sentiment: Buy
other than a potential willing buyer, what "other" evaluation options do they propose???
*UPDATE: Orchard Hill Letter to Supernus Board Shows Fund Belief Co. is 'Substantially Undervalued,' Urging Board to Evaluation Options Including Selling Co. (Benzinga)
bid at $8.75 ?
I have come to the conclusion....this stock needs some awefully bad news to come out and then it would jump to where it should be trading at. LOL. it seems good news doesnt help and the thing tumbles. now its trading lower than after that exceptional 2QE. but it was trading at 52 week 2 months ago with no news at all. we should call this the trading backward stock. LOL. makes me laugh at times. there is no figuring it out or logic to it
Sentiment: Buy
Mr maglue.....Thanks for the insight. I hadnt noticed that biotech ETF's were acting the same. Your right about diversification. I am well disversifiied. I have two players right now in my "high risk/high reward" catagory. SUPN and IPCI. IPCI acts like I expect it too as a small cap startup biotech. they actually had similar floats until recently with SUPN 's convertables. but like I was saying when IPCI has good news the stock jumps. and had a relative back off and then levels. its down recently on a bad 2QE. SUPN however, doesnt act like that. it goes no where on news, or ends up flat. I can see the retraction before earnings as people dont want to get caught short. but once earnings came out it bounced to 9.50 and yesterday was back to 8.50? I personally dont see the justification in the retraction with the news they gave where they expect to earn $1 a share this year if anyone took the time to do the math. in my mind this thing should have continued the move at least to above $10 and should be testing the 52 wk high. but here we were yesterday at only $1 above the PPs where it was when they annouced FDA approval ! I am long this stock, already holding for over 18 months. I'm just trying to grasp in my mind what it will take to actually move this to sustainable upward trend.
It depends on what exactly Actavis has developed and filed. If they filed an exact duplicate of the propriety SUPN formulation, then they will not get approval due to a patent infringement. If they have filed what they claim is a non-infringing formulation, then the FDA can grant approval. What will likely happen is that SUPN will file suit against Actavis and that starts an automatic 30-month stay period before they could get full FDA approval.
the biotech ETFs have all acting the same [to some degree] the last couple of days. It is the exact reason why diversification of asset [classes] is MANDITORY to successful investing strategies. Of course there ARE people who put all their eggs in one basket and ... WIN!?! ... and then they tend to confuse luck, with talent.
breathe deep and relax. No unusual volume sell off.... It is not much different than the sell off that occurred a months back (to ~7.5$). No, I don't feel like dancing, but I am not suicidal either
DL.....I saw that but 2 things. that news just came out today so had no real effect on the $1 drop in the past week. this thing is trading at only 30 cents above [rior to earnings report and had taken a $1.50 drop prior to earnings. I understandthe drop prior to earnings but after that release this should have at least recaptured lost ground. 2nd, the Actavis filing is a non issue. the company already stated they intend to protect their proprietary patent which was granted to 2027 passionately. if they were to settle, the FDA still routinely withholds approvals for a minimum of 40 months AFTER any settlement is reached. so assuming they settle, Actavis is at least 48 months out or 4 years away ! so if it is anything to do with that its a way over reaction....so any other thoughts? unless your right and the market is over reacting
Actavis just filed an ANDA for TrokendiXR. If approved by the FDA (a year or so from now), it would be the 3rd entry for an extended release drug. If Actavis decides to compete on price, it could make things tough for SUPN.
I'm leaving this blank because I would like someone else to fill it in. enlighten me. after the 2QE report and in my calculations this should put the company to earn a little over a $1 a share by year end. I cant for the life of me figure out why this is selling at such a deep discount. even at a multiplier of 5X revenue it should be at $12 a share. so....anyone want to answer the topic line?
down .50 since then. seems like more than small investors selling
good to know
wait to see if drops a couple digits below the 180SMA, right now it fell below the 100 but it has bounced off this sma a couple times...
I am selling today take my small profit, doesnt make sense , appears to be rolling over
Thanks Sam , maybe this isnt my Cup of Tea appears to be to manipulated
Stock....you have a lot to learn about this stock. I have seen two FDA approvals and the stock jumped $1 in the morning and back to maybe 10 cents higher by close. The other month when they announced the 30 million in cash they recieved for selling their royalty rights which was unexpected cash and I knew would propel the company to profit this year, I watched the stock drop that day ! this stock is heavly owned by institutions. over 80%. these big boys short sell, and trade based on theor own agenda and move this stock. last week, one Mutual fund just sold over a million shares ! taking the stock from 9.20 to 8.33 within a week. why? when we were all expecting a great quarter? because they have their own agenda. maybe they held too many biotechs for the fund that month? who knows. just know that if you hold long enough. it will achieve higher highs and higher lows.
Good news should have propelled share higher, but profit takers took it down from pop this AM.
If this doesnt rebound tommorow, I will wonder if the trend will continue down until it hits support.

Parents should be honest, accurate about attack
A state mental-health expert who has helped many New Hampshire communities cope after traumatic events urges parents to "do whatever they can to make their kids feel safe," after Friday's horrific school shooting in Connecticut.
Paul Deignan, disaster behavioral health coordinator for the state health department, oversees teams of experts who are trained to respond to disasters of all kinds, including "school-based critical incidents."
Last year, Deignan's agency distributed a plan titled "Responding to Critical Incidents in Schools" to every superintendent in New Hampshire, offering guidance for faculty, students and parents. And part of that plan is helping children cope with loss and grief.
Among the tips for helping children after a disaster:
. Hug and touch your child often.
. Reassure your child frequently that you are safe and together.
. Talk with your child about his or her feelings.
. Spend extra time with your child at bedtime.
. If your child is having problems at school, talk with the teacher to work together to help your child.
On Friday, Deignan sent a copy of that state plan to his counterpart in Connecticut, along with an offer of assistance. He said he's ready to go if they need him.
Deignan said parents have to be honest with their children and provide accurate information. After the 9/11 attacks, he said, many children "thought there were hundreds of towers falling down because it was repeated over and over" on television.
If children seem worried, he said, "maybe for a period of time, let them sleep with the lights on or in an older brother's room."
"Just extra comfort and hugs," he suggested.
And he said it's important to reassure children that their schools are safe.
After news of Friday's shooting broke, school officials in Litchfield sent home tips for parents and teachers to talk with children about violence, from the National Association of School Psychologists.
At the very top: "Reassure children that they are safe."
Other advice:
. Keep your explanations developmentally appropriate.
. Review safety procedures.
. Observe children's emotional state. Changes in behavior, appetite and sleep patterns can indicate anxiety.
. Maintain a normal routine.
. Limit television viewing of such events.
JoAnn Cobb, a licensed clinical social worker with Child and Family Services, said the last one is critical, especially with younger children.
"We have to be very careful about how much TV we're allowing kids to watch," she said. "Maybe you should limit the amount of exposure they have to the news at this point so that they don't have to relive it every single day."
In fact, for parents of pre-school children, Cobb said, "I don't think they should say anything to their little ones at all unless they've somehow inadvertently heard the TV or overheard their parents being upset over the situation."
"Because, really, they're too young to understand."
With elementary-age children, Cobb said, parents should be "validating their feelings, reaffirming their safety and letting them know that their school is doing everything that they can to protect them every day."
With middle- and high-school students, she said, it's OK to talk about the tragedy in more detail. But again, she said, it's important to reinforce the message: "Your school is safe."
So what if a youngster doesn't want to go to school on Monday? Cobb said that may be OK, but parents should use that time to talk with their youngsters and come up with strategies to reassure them that they're safe.
Cobb also stressed that parents need to be careful not to impose their own emotions on their children. "You don't want the kids to pick up on their own parents' anxiety over this," she said.
"Remember that they're not there to help you with your feelings," she advised. "Seek out someone else, another adult, to help you with your feelings."

Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's unemployment rate dropped to 5.8 percent in August, defying a national trend of stalled growth, state officials said Friday.
The state's latest jobless report shows the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate crept down 0.2 percentage points last month from 6 percent in July.
Utah's rate is also lower than the same month last year and remains several points below the national rate of 8.1 percent.
Across the country, unemployment rose in more than half the states last month, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday.
"If you're looking for examples of wise economic stewardship and fiscal prudence — look to Utah," Gov. Gary Herbert said in a statement.
August's rate is also lower than the same month last year when Utah's unemployment rate was 6.7 percent.
For the second month in a row, the professional and business services sector led the state in new jobs, adding 7,200 jobs in the past 12 months, the state Department of Workforce Services said.
State officials attribute most of that growth to scientific and technical fields that generally require advanced degrees and offer higher wages.
A report released last month showed declines in Utah construction, which now appears to be on the rebound. The industry was up 800 positions in August compared with a year ago.
In all, about 78,700 Utahans were unemployed in August.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The number of Americans living in poverty today has not been seen since Lyndon Johnson occupied the White House, and nowhere is it more visible than in urban environments like Baltimore.
Here a group of boys plays basketball, with a milk crate fashioned into a hoop and attached to a long-abandoned house. Others make their way through a neighborhood that looks more like a ghost town than an urban center.
Here's a collection of photos from the streets of Baltimore:

A revision to the revision
Today we present a number not to be loved.
Economic indicators are often revised, higher or lower, usually a month or two after they come out. Right?
Well, today's report from the Institute of Supply Management, the ISM for short, which measure how American factories are doing, was revised twice in the space of about three hours. Wall Street sold off hard on the initial weak, but incorrect, report.
The excuse:
"Software glitches," the ISM said.
Facial Recognition: From the NSA to Facebook to Vegas
The NSA, the New York Times reports, is harvesting people's images, millions of them per day. It's using them, we are told, to search for terrorists and other intelligence targets.
If the targets are U.S. citizens, the NSA must obtain court approval.
Facial recognition technology has taken our present national Gordian knot of privacy and security concerns through a circuitous path.
"The NSA and CIA have quite openly been working with facial recognition technology at least for the past 20 years," says Chris Green, chief technology analyst at the Davies Murphy Group.
For a time, as that technology filtered into the private sector, it developed a life of its own. Notably "in Las Vegas," Green says. A banned card counter can cost a casino half a million dollars in 20 minutes, so it was important for the private security industry to work on quick identification. "Vegas has been a great proving ground for facial recognition technology. It's put a lot of money into it and really refined and honed it down."
The groundwork laid by government agencies and the military, says Green, "created a secondary market in the private sector which is in turn is now feeding back" into government.
That feedback into government is also largely being financed by the government. Especially since 9/11.
"I would have to guess its 70 percent or higher government dollars," says Chris Boehnen, who leads the Secure Computer Vision Team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
When it comes down to what that public and private investment has brought us, it's important to separate the fanciful from the factual, says Boehnen.
Looking at Facebook's tagging feature, for example, "you could easily get the idea that modern technology is capable of taking all of Facebook's images and telling who you are, and that's very inaccurate from a technical standpoint."
Facebook, says Boehnen, almost certainly employs shortcuts that make it appear far more advanced than it is. For example, Facebook most likely isn't comparing your photo album to all photo albums on Facebook from here to Mongolia. It's comparing the faces in your album, most likely, to your friends, or maybe your friends' friends.
In the real world, facial recognition technology can be both much better, and much worse. Patrick Grother tests commercially developed facial recognition technologies for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He says in a recent test, theyenrolled 1.6 million people and achieved a 96 percent recognition rate. Meaning that if they were searching for one person out of a group of 1.6 million, they could pick that person out successfully 96 percent of the time.
But that comes with a big if: it only works if the photos being used are controlled – well lit, frontal photos like a passport or a driver's license photo. (Incidentally, that's why you're not supposed to smile in those photos – all the better to identify you or someone impersonating you).
This is tremendously useful for government agencies who are trying to determine if someone is fraudulently registering a new passport or driver's license under another name. Less so if you're trying to pick a bomber out of a crowded mall.
Grother is not privy to what the NSA or CIA use. Green, with Davies Murphy Group, suspects those agencies enjoy even higher success rates "in the high 99 percent range." But even then, the accuracy is only as good as the data, a.k.a., the photos one is comparing. Clear photos make for high identification rates. Green says modern day surveillance cameras and Closed Circuit TV cameras can often provide such clear images.
We're already halfway toward the EPA's new CO2 limits
This morning, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy announced proposed regulations that call for a 30 percent reduction by 2030 in carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants. But it's not 30 percent from today's levels. It's 30 percent from where the U.S. was in 2005— when emissions were a lot higher. In fact, they've dropped 15 percent since then. If the country has already coasted halfway to the finish line, the next half promises to be tougher.
It's worth remembering that the last nine years haven't been an easy ride. "The biggest thing since 2005 has been the slow economic times since 2009, so that's nothing to get excited about," says Lucas Davis, an energy economist at the University of California at Berkeley. The recession meant lower demand for energy— especially from industries that use electricity to run factories.
Doug Vine at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions offers another contender for what's been driving emissions down: "The largest force is the natural gas boom that we've seen in this country," he says. Burning natural gas emits about half as much carbon dioxide as coal for the same amount of energy.
However, another trend that's pushed emissions down—more efficiency, more solar, and more wind power — stems partly from higher natural gas prices, from the years before 2005.
"Those increases in natural gas prices were leading to increases in electricity prices," says Susan Tierney of the Analysis Group, "and that was making a lot of people very concerned." Those concerns prompted a lot of states to start promoting wind and solar power, and energy-efficiency.
That trend got a push from the federal government. "The 2009 federal stimulus put a big slug of money into energy efficiency and renewable energy," says Dan Bakal of Ceres. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included $31 billion in energy programs, with the biggest chunk going toward energy-efficiency.
But the stimulus is over. The recession too. Natural gas prices have started going back up, and coal is making a small comeback. WIthout a policy like the EPA's new regulations, analysts say we would expect to see greenhouse gas emissions start going up again.
Study: Americans Less Fearful Of Storms Named After Women
People are less likely to seek shelter or otherwise prepare for storms given female names, researchers say. As a result, such storms result in nearly twice as many deaths as those with male names.
Will EPA's New Emission Rules Boost Your Power Bill? It Depends
The Environmental Protection Agency wants power plants to cut carbon pollution by 30 percent. Analysts say the impact on consumers will hinge on how individual states move to meet the standards.
China's economic boom leaves a trail of ghost cities
Nearly a year ago, I visited a replica of New York City under construction outside the Northern Chinese city of Tianjin. Workers were constructing dozens of skyscrapers on a piece of swampland inside a bend in the river, giving it an uncanny resemblance to the island of Manhattan. There were plans for a Lincoln Center, a Rockefeller center, and much more.
Lin Lixue, a salesman for one of the developers, was beside himself. "Our goal is to create the world's largest financial center, right here, within ten years!" Lin told me. "We're building skyscrapers, we've got China's largest high-speed railway station coming soon, we're building a tunnel under the sea, and we'll soon build several subway lines."
A year later, construction on this city, named Yujiapu, has all but grinded to a halt. Investors have pulled out. And a cluster of skyscrapers sit, half-finished – Manhattan on hold.
"It was a failure before it even started," says Gao Fei inside the Tianjin office of Centaline Property, where he works as director of investment consulting. "The most important thing for Tianjin's government has always been a high GDP rate. That means the government has to spend a lot of money on huge projects like this one. In China, these kinds of wasteful projects are everywhere."
For years, high GDP growth has ensured local officials promotions within the Chinese Communist Party. In the case of the faltering Manhattan replica of Yujiapu, it helped boost Tianjin's GDP growth rate to around 16 percent for three years, the fastest in China at the time. And that helped former Tianjin mayor Zhang Gaoli get promoted – to Vice Premier of China. In Zhang's rearview mirror on his way to Beijing: a failed project and mountains of debt.
Hundreds of miles away lies China's most infamous example of a colossal waste of investment: The city of Kangbashi, where on most mornings, you can watch staff members of the local hotel do a choreographed dance to techno music sprinkled with horse calls while taxi drivers pull up to watch.
There's really nothing else to do here. The city – built for a population the size of Pittsburgh – is nearly empty. It was built a decade ago to house around a half a million people. At the time the region, known as Ordos, was rich from selling coal – Ordos sits atop one of China's largest coal deposits. But today, coal prices are at an historic low, and according to state media, Ordos is in so much debt that it had to borrow tens of millions of dollars from a local developer just to pay the salaries for its city employees.
Xiong Gang, a migrant from faraway Sichuan province, came here to set up a restaurant to serve them. "Everyone knows this is a ghost town, so our restaurant doesn't have to pay rent for three years," says Xiong. "The government gave it to us for free so that they had a place to eat – they also hoped more businesses would come. "
The Ordos shopping mall next door is five floors of emptiness. Red banners hanging from the central atrium congratulate the mall on its grand opening. They dangle over a single squatter living in a tent in front of the first floor's vacant information booth.
Across an empty public square filled with giant bronze statues of Genghis Khan's family, I walk through the dark corridors of an office building, where dozens of doors have "for rent" signs on them.
I see a woman coming out of one of them. She says she works at a grocery store serving city employees, she came here from the countryside, and she pays the equivalent of $75 a month to sleep in an empty office space. She washes herself in the building's public bathroom down the hall. She's not alone. More than a hundred migrant workers live here, too – all trying to make what they can off of what's left of this city.
Ordos' government just issued a ban on all construction. But before it goes into effect, the city just can't seem to help itself. It's building a new skyscraper park near a manmade lake and three sports stadiums for the 2015 Chinese ethnic minority games costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Next door to that: a Formula 1 racetrack. Porsche used to sponsor the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia here until last year when sewage reportedly filled the pit stops and racers complained about the quality of the track.
Back in Tianjin, real estate analyst Gao Fei isn't optimistic about China's efforts to prevent future economic waste like Yujiapu and Ordos. "You can't do anything about it," says Gao, shaking his head. "Local officials are too powerful. They're only concerned with the problems during their 5-year terms in office. If they can produce good numbers, they'll be promoted. They're not interested in the long-term plan."
Gao hopes for a day in China when government officials are evaluated for more than just local GDP growth. He says what really matters is the income of the people they govern, access to good health care and education. If these were the new goals in China, he says, all of this would be pretty easy to solve.

Gillian Flynn on the economics behind 'Gone Girl'
Success in publishing is about a lot of things. Sales, of course. Staying power. And the business of words.We've asked some of our favorite contemporary authors to share the numbers they think about as they write -- how they infuse the economic world around them into storytelling.
Here's a number for you: 78.
That's how many weeks author Gillian Flynn's book, "Gone Girl", has been on the New York Times bestseller list.
Flynn started writing her smash-hit of a novel at the height of the Recession. She had just lost her job at a magazine, and she found herself intrigued by what it meant to lose a job. Her main characters -- Nick and Amy -- wrestle with the economy in the most personal of ways.
"I wanted to explore what it meant to lose a job, what that meant to people of our age, people in their late 30s," Flynn says. "I had Nick and Amy, two people who had always thought their jobs would be very safe. And then, to have that taken away from them...to be forced to reinvent themselves a little bit. What that meant to them, what that meant to their marriage."

We demonstrate both theoretically and numerically that slow light can enhance the parametric process of silicon in photonic crystal line-defect waveguides. Specifically, to get the desired gain, the pump power for a given gain medium length or the gain medium length for given pump power can be reduced by (c/v g n)2 when slow light waveguides are used, where n is the material index of conventional waveguide, v g is the group velocity of the slow light waveguide and c is the light velocity in vacuum.

openSUSE 12.2 Will Bring Plymouth, GRUB2, GCC 4.7
Published on 20 March 2012 11:42 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
OpenSUSE 12.2 Milestone 2 is available today with several new features as the German-founded Linux distribution prepares for its official release this summer.
Among the work that's going into openSUSE 12.2 is finally integrating the GRUB2 boot-loader, Red Hat's KMS-based Plymouth boot splash-screen has finally found its way into openSUSE, and GCC 4.7 will be the default compiler of this next release.
Seeing GRUB2 and Plymouth in openSUSE was just a matter of time and it's good to see them finally arriving for openSUSE 12.2. With GCC 4.7,
there's performance improvements
other great features
to look forward to. Fedora 17 will be shipping with GCC 4.7 in May while openSUSE 12.2 in July looks like it will be the second major tier-one distribution using this updated GNU Compiler Collection stack to be released in the coming days. (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is using GCC 4.6.)
One interesting move is that
the Razor Qt desktop
will likely be available within openSUSE 12.2, alongside GNOME 3.4 Shell and KDE 4.8. There will also be an updated LibreOffice and the usual selection of updated open-source packages for this next major openSUSE release.
The openSUSE ARM team is also hoping their architecture will be well supported with openSUSE 12.2.
More details on the openSUSE 12.2 Milestone 2 release or to give it a whirl, stop by
There's no word at this time whether
the OpenSUSE beer
will see an expanded beer selection to commemorate the 12.2 release that's set for July.

Revved up sales boost credit unions
As CARS program unfolded, lenders credit crunch eased
Send this story to a friend
- Margie Manning
- Senior Staff Writer
Motor vehicle sales surged in August thanks to a boost from Cash for Clunkers, but the $3 billion federal program had mixed results for credit unions that finance auto loans.
Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union, MidFlorida Federal Credit Union and Publix Employees Federal Credit Union were among the organizations that posted increased loan volume as a result of the program, although Tampa Bay Federal Credit Union and USF Federal Credit Union saw little impact.
"We know the auto manufacturers are going to sell about 200,000 more vehicles than they had expected, but we are not sure what credit unions' share of that will be," said Rich Trade, director of credit insurance product management for CUNA Mutual Group, a Madison, Wis.-based provider of financial services to credit unions. It might take two months to obtain hard data, Trade told the Credit Union Journal on Sept. 7.
'Tremendous boost'
Before the Cash for Clunkers program ended Aug. 24, it provided rebates of $3,500 to $4,500 for purchases of new fuel-efficient cars when buyers turned in older, less fuel-efficient models. It resulted in $146.6 million in rebate requests in Florida, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
There's no true quantitative way to measure the programs' effects on credit unions, said Linda Darling, EVP and CFO for Suncoast Schools FCU. However, she said, "Suncoast can report a 33 percent increase in business we were referred from dealers in August over the previous three months' activity."
Publix FCU made more than $5 million in car loans in August, said Joseph David, CEO.
"We've been down in loans and that was a tremendous boost for us," he said.
