Losses in the subprime area

were overwhelmed by strong performances from most other

segments. Look for the company's strong fundamentals and

consistent earnings momentum to fuel further price

acceleration in the coming months.

Great stock. With the spinoff of the Discover card company (DFS) becoming there own company end of June 07 things will be better for both. Morgan Stanley just had great earnings today.

Morgan Stanley has already begun undoing the damage of the merger with Dean Witter, shedding their less productive brokers and smaller accounts, moving away from the conservatism of former CEO Philip Purcell, and refocusing on it's institutional securities and wealth management businesses, Morgan Stanley recorded a 44% increase in their net income from continuing operations from 2005 to 2006.



I only expect things to improve as Morgan Stanley and CEO John Mack continue in the right direction.



Additionally, Morgan Stanley will spin off Discover Financial Services in a tax free stock dividend (shareholders as of June 18th will receive 1 Discover share for every 2 MS, date of dividend is June 30th) .



What will happen with Discover? This is a speculative play, but if the price is right, it could easily be a buyout target. On the flipside, Morgan Stanley will be free of Discover's heavy capital requirements and lower margins. Without Discover Morgan Stanley's margins will only increase.



Keep in mind that Morgan Stanley's current price reflects the value of the pending Discover dividend, so MS stock price will decline after June 18th, but expect the value of the MS and the Discover stock combined will only increase.

This stock is undervalued compared to its peers and the valuation doesn't offer any credit for the Discover business. I think the spinoff will unlock value and provide a nice bump to this stock.

Big traditional brokerage houses like MS are "our fathers' brokers". The average investor is getting younger and more savy and willing to do things themselves with the internet and Motley Fool!

Good fundamentals, a good buy right now since everyone is scared of the subprime issue. The subprime scares devalued it more than the proportion of their holdings that are subprime (NEW)
