Resourcefulu Street was Focused on Technology
u Ground Swell of Conversions & Demutualization
– Helps to be expert at industry
– Helps to have industry contacts
15
Analyticalu Basic Problem Solving In Dynamic Environment
– Gather Facts Resourcefully & Efficiently– Analyze Facts to Form Conclusion or “Mosaic”– Repeat
u Use History as a Lesson NOT as a Guide
u Common Pitfalls– Assuming Street is Correct on Valuation
• Don’t lose Discipline Just Because Street Does (dot com)– Copying “homework”, be Original & Creative
• It is by definition too late if you use ideas of others– Always taking Contrarian's Stance
• Sometimes Consensus is Right!
16
Analytical: Medicare Privatizationu Possibly the Largest privatization of our time
• $400-$500 Billion New Revenue Opportunity• 10x Revenue of Largest in Industry
u Clearly Can’t use History as Guide• Brand new market opportunity• Rely on ability to forecast new growth & profitability
u Opportunity for Primary Research • Helps to be Industry Expert with sources in D.C.

…HSA is to healthcare what 401(k) is to Retirement
18
Analytical: Hello H.S.A.u Health Savings Account
– Signed into law end of 2003– To Healthcare what 401(k) was to retirement
u Will Create Winners and Losers
u Again, Can’t Use History as Guide– Understanding of industry to predict winners & losers– Understanding of History as Lesson
– 20 yrs for HMOs & 401(k) to reach 80% Penetration– But History Not a Guide
– 70% of Employers somewhat or very likely by 2006
19
Effective Communicatoru An Idea is Good If Investors Act on it
u Investors are Inundated with Information– But Never Have Enough Good Investing Ideas
u Written, Oral, Telephonic• Start with Conclusion – Opposite of How Problems are Solved
• Titles & Phrases That Concisely Tell The Story– “Elongated Cycle, Soft Landing”– “Hello H.S.A., Goodbye H.M.O.”– “Medicare Handoff Elongates Cycle”
20
Effective Communicatoru Communication Should Be Two Ways
• Only way to know what is Discounted By Street
u Sometimes Ideas Don’t Work– Ideas that Work are of course Ideal
– Ideas that Doesn’t Work Aren’t Necessarily Bad– If 80% Chance Something Works, Don’t Let 20% Hold you
Back – But Be Clear on Risks– Be Right > Half The Time
– Communicate Failures Well– Understand What Went Wrong
21
How My Role has Changedu Less Time on Capital Formation
u Greater Demand from Trading-Oriented Clients• Many New Clients, Increased Demand for My Time• Focus on Near-term vs. Long-term Performance• Client Turnover, High Hedge Fund Failure Rate
u Reg FD• Less Information Flow from Companies
– Less Leverage over Relationships with Managements• Opportunity to Leverage Long-time Industry Sources
– Net Positive for Good Analysts
22
My Outlook for the Futureu Great time to Enter the Business & Get Established
– Challenging Post-Bubble Market– Position Well for Next Cycle Turn
u Treat Career Like Investment: Avoid Following the Herd
u Great Jumping Off Point– To Industry– To Buy-Side Mutual, Hedge, Private Equity, VC, etc.– To Investment Banking– To Retirement!

I also certify that I have not been, am not, and will not be receiving direct or indirect compensation in exchange for expressing the specific recommendation(s) in this report.
Guide To Investment Ratings:Smith Barney’s stock recommendations include a risk rating and an investment rating.
Risk ratings, which take into account both price volatility and fundamental criteria, are: Low [L], Medium [M], High [H], and Speculative [S ].Investment ratings are a function of Smith Barney’s expectation of total return (forecast price appreciation and dividend yield within the next 12 months) and risk rating.
For securities in developed markets (US, UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia/New Zealand), investment ratings are: Buy [1] (expected total return of 10% or more for Low-Risk stocks, 15% or more for Medium-Risk stocks, 20% or more for High-Risk stocks, and 35% or more for Speculative stocks); Hold [2] ( 0%-10% for Low-Risk stocks, 0%-15% for Medium-Risk stocks, 0%-20% for High-Risk stocks, and 0%-35% for Speculative stocks); and Sell [3] (negative total return).
For securities in emerging markets (Asia Pacific, Emerging Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Latin America), investment ratings are: Buy [1] (expected total return of 15% or more for Low-Risk stocks, 20% or more for Medium-Risk stocks, 30% or more for High-Risk stocks, and 40% or more for Speculative stocks); Hold [2] (5%-15% for Low-Risk stocks, 10%-20% for Medium-Risk stocks, 15%-30% for High-Risk stocks, and 20%- 40% for Speculative stocks); and Sell (5% or less for Low-Risk stocks, 10% or less for Medium-Risk stocks, 15% or less for High-Risk stocks, and 20% or less for Speculative stocks).
Investment ratings are determined by the ranges described above at the time of initiation of coverage, a change in risk rating, or a change in target price. At other times, the expected total returns may fall outside of these ranges because of price movement and/or volatility. Such interim deviations from specified ranges will be permitted but will become subject to review by Research Management. Your decision to buy or sell a secur ity should be based upon your personal investment objectives and should be made only after evaluating the stock's expected performance and risk.
