What's this? No topic for this darling of Wall Street? Any thoughts on this stocks recent troubles? It has been recommended by everyone that I have ever heard recommend anything in this sector, and now everyone is running scared. Is it the right thing? Are these guys crooks taking advantage of Uncle Sam or do they have a renegade hospital down in El Paso? One answer means years of investigations, lawsuits, restrictions on mergers, and revenues and earnings uncertainties. The other answer means that this stock is being caught in the double whammy of a general downtrend and a spate of bad news that has (to date) resulted in a wonderful sale price on COL.
Well, everyone, what do you think. Is this treasure or trash over the next year? |
