DFC Global, Inc.

Recently, Dollar Financial Corp. changed its name to the current "DFC Global Inc." In 1995 Dollar Financial was the second-largest check cashing company in the United States. It became heavily involved in the "payday loan" business, somewhat like loan sharking, as exhorbitant interest rates were charged by some payday check cashing companies. These amounted to as much as $20 out of each $100 received by the customer on a very short time basis as a single fee rather than an interest charge.

With the rise of Elizabeth Warren and other desperately-needed consumer lending watchdog agencies, more stringent regulations were applied to companies like this. Dollar Financial became "almost a bank" in order to compete with banks. Dollar Financial offered other services like mailboxes, utility bill paying, money transfer, copy and fax services. Under regulatory pressures the compan quickly found it could make more money abroad than domestically and shortly into the 2000 milleniium it was receiving more than 85% of its income from overseas even though based in Pennsylvania.

It went public in 2001 and had many other financing offerings. These financed its rapid growth worldwide. It had a rather large pawn shop operation in Great Britain.

This stock is one that researchers either seem to like very much or hate. The situation is somewhat similar with some analysts.

The stock popped recently on an earnings report that beat analysts' expectations accompanied by optimistic overtones from the company management regarding further acquisitions and growth opportunites in the pawn shop and consumer lending areas, but again, mostly from overseas. The recent name change underscores this.

Channeling Potential

 
The summary below includes a value for `Degree,' which refers on a
scale of 1 to 10 the range of a channel in the period under consi-
deration compared to the total range of price movement. It also looks
for the last closing price to be within the channel, otherwise zeroed.
The `Index' is the `Degree' weighted for volatility.  Generally, the
the higher the index, the more suitable is the stock for trading as
a `rolling stock' between channel high and low points.

"Neurostock" can only track long trades. Therefore its performance, as tracked by itself on stocks which are consistently falling, may not appear as good as it could if each "sell" signal were a "short sale."
