@mcaguru - while ur point is valid in general, the biggest problem as a funder in cash advance is getting your cash out. Especially if you are self funded (no lines, hedge funds etc). There's really no way to take cash off the table unless you close up shop and unwind the portfolio or take a buy out. If your earnings are strong enough and you have a big enough book (I.e. Funding 120m+ a year with 4,000+ active merchants at a time) you can get a multiple based on earnings. So in short selling is a smart move in cash advance as a self funded bank.
