NU Online News Service, Oct. 24, 4:40 p.m. – Conseco Inc., Carmel, Ind., says operating earnings will be 18 cents per share for the third quarter, up 50% from operating earnings for the comparable quarter in 2000.
Company operations should generate $700 million in cash flow before interest and dividends this year, and cash flow should continue to grow in 2002 despite the gloomy economy, Conseco says.
