It seems you are missing the point. The suit is not limited "only" to recovery of money, it will also make sure that shareholders get control of the company, knock out management that are entrenched in their positions. Looking at the stock lately and it looks UGLY. You may feel it imortant to discuss "the merits of the company". I as a shareholder feel it more important to discuss what can be done to salvage this company. WIGGINS LOSSES NOTHING IF HE BRINGS THIS DOWN THE TUBE. His alternative is to leave with nothing. Bottom line if you don't have interest in this issue why is it so hard to skip my posts and let people who care to read them have their chance. I understand that investors do not like to see the word lawsuit, however if they do nothing just sit their and let the rascals do their job you will see new lows every day. stockdeals@aol.com

The problems with oxhp are common. Your analysis is superficial - no malice intended. Aetna and Oxford are two different animals in different situations despite the surface similarities. It is not new news what you say about Aetna and Pacificare having "similar" probs as Oxford - but the impact is much different, and the problems are much less serious. We touched on this back in early-mid Dec here. You are posting a lot - I would ask myself, why does Oxford - an insurance company - need more capital? The reason likely is much what I mentioned earlier - they may run into some serious liquidity problems without it. stocks go way up and way down This isn't a tech stock - it's imprtant to understand the industry and to have a good handle on how these things run their financial houses. There is regulation here, and if its financials get much worse it gets shut down or limited in a major way. If you believe the HMOs will rebound (they're all beaten down) then there are safer avenues. JMO, Mike
