Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

A horrible accident at their Coffeen, IL power plant in 2003 in which Ameren was negligent three times over and that resulted in the death of a 29 yr old contracted commercial diver and father was settled this year for millions. Clearly, the company is cutting costs even if it means their employees...More

Recs 0 (AEE) greglpc1 (< 20) Submitted: 11/01/08 11:10 AM : Start Price: $32.41 AEE Score: 22.49 Huge Dividend, $2.54/share. Getting approvals for an additional nuclear facility at its Callaway nuclear power plant site. The community is behind this decision. The company is spending to make its coal facilities pollution free and the community is behind this too. It makes for an easier sell when the Company can show that the extra charges have gone into "feel-good" projects and the lights stay on! These guys know what they are doing and are making money at it. Also, AEE is one of lowest cost utilities in the country. So that leaves plenty of upside sell room if rate increases are needed.

Recs 0 (AEE) Scaooba (74.48) Submitted: 10/18/08 10:03 AM : Start Price: $30.57 AEE Score: 27.38 Dividend almost as good as BAC before they cut theirs. Now way better than BAC. Looks like the rate increase for Illinois and Missouri is going thru. Due to the bloody week the market had, was a great buy, it was trading at almost a all time low when bought it. And is still a great buy at 30 a share. It's a utility and isn't going anywhere, pays a great dividend and the market provided a great buying opportunity.
