Nursing Home Companies as Short Candidates The following news article brought to my attention the problems the nursing home industry is facing. Sun Healthcare Losses Balloon nt.excite.com "The Albuquerque, N.M.-based company, which operated 614 long-term care facilities as of the end of 1998, posted a per-share loss of $13.34, including charges that reflect a transition to Medicare's prospective payment system, or PPS." In reviewing the group it is obvious in retrospect that one could have shorted almost any one of them on the first of January and one would be way ahead by now. The Group: clearstation.com I am starting (late out of the gate again) to look at individual companies to see if any are still good shorts. Many are already under $5.
