This merger reflects the fact that Green Tree was in an exceptionally weak valuation period. GNT is on track to earn $2.47 in 1998, so at their price of 29, they were highly attractive on that front.

This addition to CNC's bottom line should be immediately apparent. The question is whether this whole idea of a company offering both mortgages, loans, and insurance is a good one. I wouldn't get a loan from an insurance agent, but I might buy insurance from a lender.
