All that I can say is that CNC has been very good to members of our family with respect to the price. My father first bought 500 shares of CNC in 1992 and now hold several thousands of shares. I have owned shares on and off and even my mother is a shareholder. We have all "lived" through the trashing from Abelson and Barrons. I remember when Barrons wrote an article years ago that said that Conseco was run by pirates and looters.(LOL). I agree with only ONE SINGLE part of Abelsons recent article..That Conseco stock will eventually vanish. The reason being that Hilbert will sell the company to the likes of company like GE Capital. The line in the sand might have been drawn on Saturday. Insiders continue to buy stock and the shares that the recent poster just shorted are probably going to be loaned from one of the insiders. That is pretty damm scary.

How in the world do you expect an in-depth analysis of Dirk's 200 questions. Please note that most of his report is asking questions about CNC numbers. He doesn't know the answers, just alot of questions. You will not get a detailed response from me on his reams of questions. You have to look at the book to know the answers to his questions. I can't do that. I can make general observations. Who do you believe. 1 guy with an axe to grind or dozens of other non-CNC execs who believe in CNC and the management. You guys wouldn't be shorting but for Dirks, so I hope you have alot of trust in him. I trust S&P, Duff and Phelps, AM Best, Moody's, and all the insurance execs who took CNC stock in the buyouts, as opposed to one analyst who is seeking money from CNC. I'll keep quiet and watch from here.
