UNUM GROUP (UNM)

CAPS Rating:
***

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

A good dividend, and a good history. This company poses a good value. Still growing in profits, and increasing at a significant rate. This stock could be a nice yielder for the average joe.

Tom Watjen has financially restructured the company and senior management has focused product distribution based on the changing demographics of America's workforce. More focus on voluntary products along with financial discipline will make Unum into a $30 stock in the next 12 months.

Management got greedy in the late 90's and the share holders paid the price. Lesson learned and will retrace to previous highs over the next few years. Good buy and hold at $21.00.

I really feel most legal and civil problems are over.Granted the disability industry is a little slow right now because of the economy.I have conversed with several in the market who sell various products in this area and they are basically happy with Unum.Certainly much more so than two or three years ago.Management has improved.I feel they understand their product better and how too treat there customers better.In some cases adjustors could use a several hour course in conversing with people.Some adjustors really don't care if a caimiant is suffering.Maybe they have not seen suffering up close.All in all things look much more promising.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
