Clarification on FTR...

I may have sounded a bit too hysterical so to clarify...

When I said there is a real chance, it may have been misinterpreted as "very likely". This is wrong. I should have said there is certainly a possibility the company may go out of business. Insurance business has been horrible in 1999.

However,

If the company remains viable, and the industry recovers (which I'm sure it will...since I seriously doubt that insurance companies are ever going away), I believe the stock to be very grossly undervalued. In a consolidation, the company could be purchased for 2x current book (now around $5.00 a share).

Perhaps a greater risk is that this may be dead money for quite some time in a market where there are certain stocks ramping 50 or 100 points a day.
