Correct. However, if you do find a factor you will get credit. In fact
you get credit for trial factoring up to the size of the factor. In the long
run, you will end up with more time credited than you actually invested.
In the short run, it is like a CPU credit lottery.
Scott does not have the free time to accurately credit P-1 factoring.
However, it affects every one and is less than a 1.5% impact on your
totals.
