Decent balance sheet nice cash on hand, low debt, 3+% dividend 18% percent projected increase in EPS next year seems i fly this one for a bit

I like this because they have a recognizable name, no blemishes on the record I have heard of, and when the boomres are retiring, they are going to have to do something w. their money

I see some risks for AMP. In a couple of years it will lose the use of the Amex brand and must stand on its own. Also, there are outstanding legal issues which, if they go badly, could tarnish AMP's reputation. And in the world of fin. management retputation is rather important. However, I do not expect the legal proceedings to end negatively, so the AMP brand will not be damaged, allowing it to continue its growth when completely separated from Amex.

If you believe that boomers have tons of retirement money to manage.

I think this stock is getting punished because it is in the financial field. They still have a strong business franchise with a growing client base for personal financial management and strong insurance division. We should start seeing some upside soon.

Steady growth I believe strong company.

Ameriprice Financial was spun off American Express with great success now as an independent company. The stock has benn preforming well, until recently because the whole market has perform poorly.
The baby boomers are begining to retired, which is a welthy generation that is willing to let others manage their money.
Great buy now that the market has dipped !!!

With a PE ratio of about 7, this stock is seriously undervalued. In these scary financial times, people are going to need more and more financial advice. And Ameriprise is there to give it to them.

I have most of my retirement invested with them, so they had better do well

Went to a recruiting event they put on one time at the behest of a freind. Whew. If the office I went to was any indication, the company is deceptive and not headed by very bright people, at least at the office level. This was a long time back, but I got a bad vibe from them culturally, and feel pretty confident in this pick.
In addition, I think their business model is to convince low income / not very financially savvy people to invest. I'd think that would be a tougher sell now than just about any time since their spin-off from American Express. I can't see them going anywhere but down.

Seems to be doing awfully well for a financial services company catering to the "affluent and mass affluent." Given the economic/political atmosphere, I believe the American pie is likely to a) shrink and b) get cut more evenly over the next three years. The affluent will become mass affluent and the mass affluent will become mass.
Execution has been excellent since it was spun out. Earnings growth has been impressive and it hasn't missed any quarters, but their estimates for '08 and '09 have barely been cut since the beginning of the year.
