Brother Tunica at the rate that CNC's projected earnings are disappearing, Wendt had better call in the "X Files" to investigate: <<<But Lehman insurance analyst Eric Berg didn't help Conseco's cause Friday when he slashed his 2000 profit estimate to 92 cents from $1.61 a share and cut his 2001 projection to $1.16 from $2.89 a share. He also admitted that predicting the company's future profits with any precision is "impossible." Berg said Conseco's holding company is "bloated, indebted and badly distracted by peripheral businesses.">>> From 2.89 to 1.16? WOW!

Really sad to see Irwin Jacobs getting this desperate. A last gasp effort to pump the stock after a crummy earnings report with a desperate public plea to call in shares. Blaming Conseco's stock problems on short sellers, for some reason, I've heard this before many times. The guy has lost his mind. Good luck to all you CNC bagholders.
