LOL fry me? gosh i shouldn't be wrong then huh? Well, i heard a few weeks ago Argent was put on the auction block and if no one bought them, the owner was going to file BK and close. Guess that rumor was true.No i'm not an employee @ Argent, i'm guessing the AE for our office informed our office manager today.And the AE didn't indicate whether their just changing into Ameriquest or not.

Absolutely nuts! I can't believe how many of these guys are shutting down this week. Maybe my semi-prediction of 18 years of real price declines will happen much faster. I think we're likely to experience a decline similiar to Houston (1979 - 1997).
