My Merrill Lynch broker called me yesterday and gave me their analysts' opinion ( Ed Spehar ); Spehar feels Merrill will make 35 cents thisQ ( Street average 36 ) compared to last years 0.88 This is his analysis: Symbol: Symbol Look-up Opinion Report for CONSECO INC. (CNC) p Company Description CNC is a financial-services company based in Carmel, IN.

Their Colin analyst sounds very combattive as if he has an axe to grind. None of the excluded analysts will disclose to the public whether they are short CNC. If they are, then we know why they are whinning. I'll go with Merrill, TA
