In short: The most well-known of the four lead-gen names but the LEAST pure-play — started as a mortgage marketplace and expanded into insurance and many other verticals, a "lead-generation financial supermarket across financial products." A way to play the insurance lead-gen theme, but diluted by the other verticals.
LendingTree is the household name of the group — the "where banks compete" ads — but Sy calls it the least pure way to play this theme. It began as a mortgage marketplace and has since added insurance and many other financial products, so it's really a "financial supermarket" of lead generation rather than a focused insurance play. You can own it to get exposure to the online-insurance trend, but you're also buying all its other, less-related verticals; for a cleaner bet he prefers EverQuote, Media Alpha, or QuinStreet.
