I don't think they would knowingly misrepresent the Company' financial situation, but they might focus on earnings growth instead of revenue growth. It would not be a misrepresentation to do so. Also when growth slows -- as it is for the other players -- if you were managing a Company would you want to get the word out that growth looked like it was slowing as soon as you had an indication of that or would you wait until you had undeniable confirmation? It is natural. Do I know that revenue growth is slowing for LU? No, I do not, but seems to be a reasonable bet given the reports of others and the general economic situation worldwide. Sure willing to listen to contrary opinions. Do you know how much of LU's revenues are derived from overeas, especially Latin America?
