Can anybody put an actual analyst name to this report? I need to add them to my 'Amy Butte' list of ones to remember.RESEARCH ALERT-PaineWebber cuts Conseco
NEW YORK, April 3 (Reuters) - PaineWebber said Monday it cut its rating for insurer Conseco Inc. to neutral from attractive on news last Friday that the company's management plans to sell its consumer finance business.

-- Lowers 12-month price target to $12 from $18.

-- Cuts 2000 EPS estimate to $2.00 from $2.80 ``to reflect the dilutive impact of the sale of CNC's consumer finance operations.'

-- Sees 2001 EPS at $2.10.

-- Says ``We think uncertainty exists as to the value to be received from any sale of the consumer finance operation.'

$12 target? Then CNC may as well just close up shop. Book Value/StockHolders Equity is $17. Lowered earnings are $2. Forward PE at $12 would be 6. Book Value would increase to $18 with earnings of $2.

What are these guru's using to calculate with these days?

Oh did I mention 2% dividend?
