Oxford - I was on the road today, so I hadn't read the latest news when I posted my thoughts on Oxford ten minutes ago. I'll stand by most of it, but I deserve what I get for posting a "holier than thou" post without being up to date. Mea culpa. Thanks Mike for notifying me of the new developments - I didn't want to sleep tonight!

My read of it is that there is a lot of new information. I don't worry about non cash charges unless they tell me something about future cash flows. The admission that government payments for Medicare don't cover costs was astounding to me. You've got to be an idiot to lose money in that market. Congress has given the HMOs a virtual licence to steal.

But the last paragraph of the news release was very positive. One of the big concerns is that Oxford would have to restate past earnings. KPMG's blessing of their past financials is a dodged bullet. That's value investing. A company tells you that the past financials were correct and you consider that a positive.
