Okay. And then, do you think you'll make money in the second quarter?
James G. Pierson - Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President
Well, it's something that we've never given guidance on, Tom. And I don't think we're going to start today. We're certainly going to continue to reinvest back in the business. So when you start talking about money, I'd say, we've been very consistent about reinvesting back into it.
Thomas S. Albrecht - BB&T Capital Markets, Research Division
No, I get that. The reason I ask is, though, I think the -- when you look at the variety of estimates out there, there is a sense that a consensus expectation that you'll be profitable in the second quarter. And given that you were in the fourth quarter and you should be further along with your operations, it would seem to make sense, seasonally adjusted and everything else, that you'd be able to make money.
James L. Welch - Chief Executive Officer and Director
I think that's a good comment.
