While everyone is understandably happy about this, I have to wonder if UHC’s competitors gained value at the same time. Because I could absolutely see investors dumping UHC because of its reputation now but continuing to invest in insurance companies, just moving their money. Selling off UHC stock to buy Anthem stock.
One would hope that would be a risky move. Other CEOs could be next if there are copycats. They should invest more in the military industrial complex. Those CEOs don’t get assassinated, they do the assassinating. Much safer bet.
Wait can we use the stock market to bet on the next dead CEO? Brian gets murdered, Anthem goes up. Buy anthem, anthem CEO gets murdered, sell anthem (faster than the other idiots doing this) and buy a different company?

I’d still like to see the data if anyone has it.
