How could it suddenly dawn on holders of Cigna (CI), Aetna (AET), United Health (UNH) and Wellpoint (WLP) that they are PENOs instead of HMOs! That means Public Enemy No. 1, by the Anti-HMO-in-Chief Barack Obama. I have been telling people to sell these stocks endlessly because the president wants their business to be nonprofit, which is difficult if you are a public company.

These companies, not unlike Sallie Mae (SLM) and the Apollo (APOL) / Strayer (STRA) contingent are all in Obama's cross hairs. These are companies that are viewed at best as friction and a tax on the system and at worse, actual taxpayer rip-offs.

The idea of anyone defending these companies seems pretty daunting. I think that these stocks should be sold and sold now, as the rhetoric will only grow. If you want to see what can happen, take a look at Capital One Financial (COF), which was PENO last month.
