Yes, insurance industry financial statements are another kind of game, and different kinds of insurance companies are each their own speciality. We had 34 analysts in our research firm and all could talk to each other easily except for our insurance analyst and once in a while our utility analyst. The insurance man lived in Boston and the rest were in NYC. And the cultural differences were professional, not just their accents. I used to take him around to my clients frequently and even the bigest accounts basically sat back and tried to think differently when we were there.
