  3. Hi Sally, thanks for the message. I wish forecasting the economy was easy. It has to improve, the collapse and the election last fall caused big trouble. I can't imagine things being worse than that.

  5. On page 4, you have 300,000 lapsed customers, 90% did not purchase. 300,000 * 0.90 = 270,000.

    On page 4, you have 100,000 existing customers, 55% did not purchase. 100,000 * 0.55 = 55,000.

    270,000 lapsed customers not purchasing plus 55,000 existing customers not purchasing yields 325,000 lapsed customers in 2010!
