Jorj,

I used to trade Pacificare and a couple of other HMO's. Pacificare in particular is a great trading vehicle in both directions. It tends to bounce hard off of support and then (always) return to the trend line, as your chart shows in several places. You have to TTMAR pretty often.

The whole HMO business is crap, though. The customers have wised up and either game the system or abandon it. In most places the better docs won't take HMO's until the reimbursements get better, and when the reimbursements get better the HMO doesn't make any money.

The business model is kind of like requiring someone to stand on a high ledge and have them try not to fall off while different people take turns pushing them.
