Introduction Market Data Compact
What's this? No topic for this darling of Wall
Street? Any thoughts on this stocks recent troubles?
It has been recommended by everyone that I have
ever heard recommend anything in this sector, and
now everyone is running scared. Is it the right
thing? Are these guys crooks taking advantage of
Uncle Sam or do they have a renegade hospital down
in El Paso? One answer means years of investigations,
lawsuits, restrictions on mergers, and revenues
and earnings uncertainties. The other answer means
that this stock is being caught in the double whammy
of a general downtrend and a spate of bad news that
has (to date) resulted in a wonderful sale price on
COL.

Well, everyone, what do you think. Is this treasure
or trash over the next year?
