On the upside, San Francisco's Luminent Mortgage Capital (LUM Quote) leapt 10.6% on a Deutsche Bank upgrade to hold from sell. The analyst said the troubled mortgage lender has boosted its liquidity enough to provide some relief from the credit crunch that so heavily battered its stock price this summer. Shares closed at $1.67.
Indiana-based Conseco (CNO Quote) added 3.5% on a Friedman Billings upgrade to outperform, and fellow insurer MF Global (MF Quote) said it will buy BrokerOne, an Australian futures broker. Terms were undisclosed, but Bermuda-based MF expects earnings accretion over the next year. Shares tacked on 58 cents at $29.- Loading Comments...
