Just a heads up bro..Earnings report coming..May want to hold off on the dips under $10 for now until they put out the meat and potatoes..Hopefully the meat is bad and we can start playing it at a lower PPS..Based on the insider buying this past quarter I am only guessing their report is going to be good..Bummer! lol

FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 22, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AMERICREDIT CORP.

For the six months ended December 31, 2007, AmeriCredit reported net income of $43 million, or $0.35 per share, versus earnings of $170 million, or $1.27 per share, for the six months ended December 31, 2006. Operating results include Long Beach Acceptance Corp. since its acquisition on January 1, 2007.

Net income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, included a $23 million after-tax gain ($36 million pre-tax), or $0.18 per share and $0.17 per share, respectively, related to the partial sale of AmeriCredit's investment in DealerTrack Holdings, Inc.

Automobile loan purchases increased to $1.80 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2007, compared to $1.74 billion for the same quarter last fiscal year. Loans purchased for the six months ended December 31, 2007, were $4.19 billion compared to $3.42 billion for the same period a year earlier. Managed receivables totaled $16.35 billion at December 31, 2007, compared to $12.58 billion at December 31, 2006.

Annualized net charge-offs totaled 6.9% of average managed receivables for the December 2007 quarter compared to 5.8% for the December 2006 quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 2007, annualized net charge-offs were 6.2% compared to 5.6% for the same period last year.

'Over the next several months, we will bring our originations infrastructure and overhead into alignment with our revised originations target.'
