AEGON N.V. (ADR) (AEG)

They will rise in value when they rid themselves of a heavy weighted

stone called AIG. AIG shuold have been allowed to go down the tubes. AIG has done more damage to the World economy than any other stock in History. Employees @ AIG have my sympathy. The management on the other hand are no better than Bernie M.

You got off the other day by pleading you had no control over the conditions at play. No excuses gentlemen...You know exactly how the game is played and don't plead your ignorance to the US Courts.

Aegon is much undervalued at this point, apparently moving almost in lock-step with the DOW. It is a major insurance company with billions in assets, and as the economy rebounds, so will Aegon.

High beta should outperform the market, supported by the historical trends over past year.

This company was the third largest among the insurance companies in the world. It is capable of regaining that berth.

Aegon is a good company and even though stock topped $5.00/share for first time in a while, it has an upside. I wouldn't expect it to exceed the S&P 500 by 30%, but it should beat it by single digits or better.

Go solid company with excellant finacial mangers at the helm

Insurance is risky right now

Those who are hoping for a recovery will be disappointed. Sell early sell often

Insurance companies are now getting hammered as a result of AIG... being a contrarian by nature, I say buy when everyone is getting out.

You idiot! Do you, in your sane mind, honestly think WFG is a con owned by AEGON? Give me a break. A company with holdings in major financial markets and over $400 billion in assets is going to own a con? You were probably involved, didn't do your part to be successful and didn't take responsibility for your short falls. So you decided to blame AEGON. Yeah, okay. We will all listen to you and base our assessment on your credibility.

See the comment below: AEGON bought out and now owns all of Merrill lynch's life insurance & annuity division sales. Which was 20% of Merrill's sales. Merrill lynch is over-rated. AEGON is very under-rated. AEGON has no debt and almost 400 Billion dollars in assets. It is a powerhouse company that is constantly increasing it's profits. They own many companies including World Financial Group. World Financial Group is the fastest growing Broker/Dealer in the world by more than 5 times the growth of the next leading competitor. World Financial Group will soon be a household name, and is BY FAR THE WORLDS FINEST COMPANY. World Financial Group is the Michael Phelps of Broker/Dealers. No one can compete with them and the excellent honest way they run their business and treat their clients. World Financial Group recently acquired the 400 million dollar 401k account of Southwest Airlines. Additionally, in the past 14 months they have placed 2 billion dollars under active money management. World Financial Group is an unstoppable company that is spanking crooked Broker/Dealers butts. AEGON loves them, and is seeing huge profits come in. AEGON may be the very safest best on Wall Street. PROFITS & NO DEBT.

score = 76

I used to sell some of AEG's life product's. Well run company. No debt. Selling for book value! Good dividend. Will definitely make money in the long run.

I have a dim view for the S&P over the next year or two. Aegon is strong and undervalued. Several of their company holdings are going to gain tremendous market share this year and this will lead to stronger profits. Investors looking for a safe play in the financial sector will choose Aegon.

Financial Services firm with top executive direction. Strict profit guidelines.

AEG is a strong company with great monitary policy. That was not hit by the credit crunch. However, they have a very poor communication section. Why do I say that? look at their stock price... it is dropping and they aren't suffering from any problems. Had a good solid Q4 (even though profit was down year on year, but who wasn't in finacial market?)

AEGON is well managed multinational financial firm poised for a run up in stock price.

There are no American educated MBA crooks running this Insurance Blue Chip of the EU, like the characters in the AIG fiasco... Greenberg, Kozloski, Lay, Martha Stewart , Nardelli, ad infinauseum , so called american CEOs ... This stock continues to be a super buy with a great dividend to boot !!

on the rebound
