I brought GNT a few months ago after it's stock was crushed. I did this for two reasons. First the company has never had a quarter in the last five years whre cash flow was negative. Second the loan prepayments I believe was simply a natural reaction to lower interest rates. The write offs were a result of honest accounting because when assets disappear from the balance sheet you must take a charge against earnings. What I don't have a good understanding of is CNC's business. I'm trying to decide if I should hold the stock in the merged companies or sell. BTW my target for GNT was about $50 so I don't believe CNC overpaid.
