    Read between the lines – NEGATIVE OUTLOOK. Hmmmm, this was exactly what they said about Liberty Mutual before Lib went nuts and sold out their employees, and “retired” the Wausau brand name. A move of desperation.

    What will Nationwide’s move of desperation be? The sale of ALLIED?? (Allied results are rumored to be horrendous)

    Two analysts upgraded Aflac last Wednesday. Citi Investment Research’s Colin Devine said the sell-off was excessive and raised his rating to “Buy” from “Hold.” He said the hybrid securities exposure is a concern, but Aflac appears to have enough capital to overcome those losses.

    Sterne Agee’s John Nadel upgraded the stock to “Neutral” from “Sell,” saying that Aflac’s losses from the holdings “will likely be far lower than current market prices indicate.”
