Its an unfortunate sign of the times. The whole country (the whole world actually) has gotten drunk on debt. The piper now wants his dues. PRAA is more than happy to assist him.

If only we all could have acted more fiscally responsible like our g...

A small cap in the process of transforming itself into a mid cap. They know what to buy and are buying, buying, buying. Great set up for mass future earnings.

In addition, PRAA s...

Sadly, the population is getting deeper and deeper in debt and living far beyond their means. I don't see this trend changing anytime soon. As this keeps up, they'll be a huge pool of debt to buy.
