Terry, re. CNC. Sold 1/3 for long term capital loss. Dividend cut sends a terrible signal imo. Especially for an insurance company.
Difficult capital structure for me to understand, tons of options. Loan securitization aspects not comprehensible to me. If it's a value stock, I say it's risky. Even as it drops to three year low.

Will hold remaining 2/3 position for another 12 months to assess further. They are aggressive and in several lucrative niches - GreenTree mobile home financing; annuities, etc. No. 1 or 2 in several specialties.

Paul

Did you investors in Conseco read the article in Forbes about three weeks ago? After reading that, I decided this is probably an avoid at any price because the downside risk is arguably zero, and there is no way I would ever understand the accounting.
