Jan 1 at 19:58 comment added Michael Hardy (My comment above presupposes the existence of an infinitely divisible law with a negative cumulant of even degree. I don't know an example off hand. But once I asked about this, I think on sci.math.research, and if I recall correctly, it may have been Herman Rubin who posted an example. But I don't remember what it was.)
Jan 1 at 19:55 comment added Michael Hardy $$\begin{align} & \text{“It is known that every infinitely divisible} \\ & \phantom{“} \text{random variable is the limit in law of a} \\ & \phantom{“} \text{sequence of compound Poisson random} \\ & \phantom{\text{“}} \text{variables”} \end{align}$$ A compound Poisson random variable cannot have a negative cumulant of even degree because its cumulants are equal to the moments of the distribution that is compounded. Would this mean that distributions with nonnegative even-degree cumulants can converge in law to a distribution with a negative even-degree cumulant? So there's a discontinuity?
