Presidential limbo land...
There is a very
interesting article in this issue of Forbes about
OXHP.
It says exactly what I said a long time ago about
OXHP. Their business model is easily duplicated, and
others have started taking market share away from them.
Also, to control costs, they have limited their
subscribers' options.
I personally have always believed
HUM's business model was more viable than
OXHP's.
The Forbes article also says OXHP is shrinking
rapidly, having lost 25% of their subscribers. A lot of
this was intentional, but a lot was not.
One
more interesting point, the article notes that OXHP
wants to grow, but they are having difficulties doing
so in their core market. Their stock has increased a
lot more dramatically than HUM's. I would not be at
all surprised if OXHP makes a run at HUM.
