263. Add 3M to the HC Casualty List

12 cents per share charge because of the HC Insurance Reform Bill! This article documents 3M's assessment and loss charge. Within WEEKS the major businesses are declaring their losses -- see previous posts during this past week. I getting scared that the stock market rally won't make it another 3 weeks as forecasted. Possibly this news will not be taken into consideration until actual earnings come out. I can only hope.
