Med Insurers. I looked but did not buy. Yes, there may be a moat, but they are now all in the same boat. (mixed metaphors.) I usually do not post news since you can read that yourself. Mkt overreaction? But as I said >> Not sure how these fit into my criteria of easy to understand and predictable.

Shares of Humana fell nearly 12% and its managed-care competitors also dropped Thursday after the Medicare-focused insurer warned...
