Wells Fargo downgraded Sun Healthcare Group (NASDAQ: SUNH) from Outperform to Market Perform. Valuation range slashed to $8-9 from $15-18.

Wells analyst says, "We are reducing our 2011E and 2012E EPS for Sun to $1.17 and $0.81 from $1.35 and $1.54, respectively. For shares of Kindred Healthcare, we have lowered our 2011E and 2012E EPS to $1.86 and $1.66 from $2.04 and $2.29, respectively. We have lower our valuation range for shares of KND to $20-23 from $25-29 and maintain our Market Perform rating. While some of the reimbursement risk is already reflected in the stocks we believe it could take more than one year for the industry to return to a stable pricing environment."

It's very possible an indictment of the former CEO by the Orange County District Attorney for obstruction of justice and criminal acts against me in a wrongful death lawsuit of my mother, Evelyn Calvert, where we could prove his willful misconduct may be near.
