Peter, I admire your courage to take a position in LU in light of the overwhelming negative press. My only advice is pray for a good CFO and no pre-announcement. I am convinced the insiders know something. This is very orchestrated selling, consistent and deliberate. LU's IR response about being in a quiet period and not being able to say anything is pure BS. CFO's give guidance during quiet periods all the time. HP did recently. Smith International did just today: 08:23 [SII] SMITH INT'L ESTIMATES Q1 SALES SURPASSING $600 MLN 08:23 [SII] SMITH INT'L SEES Q1 PROFIT IN RANGE OF 20 CENTS TO 22 CENTS 08:23 [SII] SMITH INTERNATONAL PEGS Q1 NET AS ABOVE CONSENSUS ESTIMATE OF 15 CENTS They (SII) report around 4/10. So I think the LU word is out, very unfortunately for us. Love the company, hate the visibility. It smacks of arrogance.
