            <link>http://blog.directmortgagewholesale.com/archive/2007/08/09/results-of-mortgage-surveys.aspx</link>
            <description>&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the results of some of our mortgage surveys:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;How has the upheaval in the subprime market affected your business?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="disc"&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;It Hasn't: (9%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;A Little: (9%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Some: (3%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;More than I'd Like: (31%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;A Lot: (49%)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt; Have Direct Mortgage's products helped mitigate the effect of the subprime fallout?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="disc"&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Yes (22%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;No (67%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Unsure (11%)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt; What percentage of your business was Alt A loans?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="disc"&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;61 - 100% (0%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;41 – 60% (38%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;31 – 40% (13%)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Less than 30% (50%)&lt;/li&gt;
