T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:TROW)

I would TROW some cash at this one if i hadent spent it all on gas for mt truck

This is one of the only financial firms I am happy to rate as outperform. A personal friend of mine works there, and while I have no special information, I do know what a special and brilliant mind he has. Buy as much of this stock as you can.

I read a lot of money maggs [probably too many]. All of them like to pick and follow assorted mutual funds, and every one of them cites several TROWs in their recommendation lists. So, why not recommend the company itself? They are poineering in health, emerging markets, and new energy investments. When the economy picks up, they'll take off.

s&P 5 star, 2.2 % div

no debt

Combines strong niche in mutual fund management with entry-level exposure to social media investing. As long as the company gets out in time, TROW should be able to cash in on social media popularity.

The name inspires confidence. I know nothing else about them.

It is growing its business and is undervalued for the longer term.

I love that this company has no long-term debt and is still able to be an innovative leader in the financial services industry.

Republican talking points aside, there's a recovery happening here. Baby boomers are more likely to be trying to juice their savings now that they've been reminded of how capricious market & housing assets really are. All this spells soaring profits for the best mutual fund and investment advisory companies over the next several years. T. Rowe is one of the very best that is publicly traded.

since TROW is buying into twitter, imo TROW will surge, and if folks are interested in acquiring some TWITTER, sooner or later they will have an advantage
when TWITTER goes public.....arent we all just dying
to get our hands on another ipo like google ??!!

Lack of 401K business will hurt T. Rowe for immediate future.

Growth adjusted PE is nearly twice the industry average.

Undervalued.

good stock

This stock has been unfairly beaten down by the recent sell off in financials. I believe they are a stong company with sound management and a solid portfolio of mutual funds that are attractive to a broad base of investors. And they have $0 debt.
