Principal has little residual risk on the mortgage side having properly accounted for any potential losses. As the boomers continue to age, the need for Principal services will grow accordingly. It is hard to justify that PFG stock will not outperform the market in the coming years.

insurance stock in life and 401 k business has some bank exposure but appears to be small. has been increasing in value since ipo was released couple years ago. Worth holding as long investment. Seems to have huge swings with market swings, This is stock i would not get too excited with its swings at present. should recover very well as market conditions improve.

Leader in retirement plans...baby boomers coupled with the concern over SSI and private pension stability. Right player in the right market.
