Well, this opinion is coming four months later la-onda, I'm sorry. I'll try to keep up with the Watch List from now on.

It looks like HUM wasn't conservative at all my friend, look at that plunge:



I'm not going to make a full analysis for now, I just want to know what happened in gaps 1 and 2:

1 - Hmm, I can't find anything on the news ... maybe an analyst downgraded the stock? Let me see ... no, quite the contrary



2 -  •   Humana shares plunge after WellPoint profit warning

Jesus, the health insurance industry was really sensitive to any negative surprise.

I'll keep studying HUM.
