Wellpoint buys Amerigroup: finance.yahoo.com I own AGP and I have mixed feelings about this. It's a decent pay day but I liked the company, thought it was well managed, and it had good growth potential. I do find it interesting that WLP is doing this as cash only with no stock (though possibly some debt). They obviously think their stock is undervalued. I don't generally do insurers - I bought AGP after I had some dealings with them and was impressed. When I checked out their stock it looked obviously cheap even for an insurance illiterate like me. Since I now have some cash looking for a home, I guess I'll have to turn to WLP and take a stab at understanding them.
