- how do you think you got your policy for 50% less than Allstate?

- It's very costly to market insurance, pay a broker, staff an u/w dept... etc... etc...

- Quotesmith.com is going around to all the insurance companies, taking on the marketing expense. But none of the insurance risk. QUOT only brings together the insurer & the buyer, i.e., only the broker

- Is there potential? Big time. If you look at Marsh McClennan & some other, insurance brokers are oftentimes the most profitable. They take a commission; renewal premium; etc... & assume none of the losses

- QUOT is coming out of the starting blocks. But w/ cash on hand of $32.1 million, or $1.67 per share - & no debt; share price of $.80 - I think the stock has been unfairly beaten down - & I think they can become extremely profitable over time
