Steady demand for investment guidance.
Surprises lurk behind company's lack of guidance.

This mutual investment fund company has forward looking management that focus on bringing the greatest possible returns to IRA rollover investors. With low expenses, I like this stock to outperform the S&P In the time frame indicated.

I've researched this one too; looks good for the long haul. Strong position and in a good niche to serve the swell of baby boomers heading for retirement. Nice dividend as well.

TROW is a great company, but it is overvalued. Does not have very many foreign stock based mutual funds. If the market tanks, so does TROW profits. I expect it to underperform the market in the medium to long term.

Built to endure. In a slow-down or recession, TROW will float to the top. I missed the boat in JUN-JUL last year (and again in NOV-DEC), but TROW will still outperform.

Reversion to the mean is a natural part of any market shakeup. Where that mean is is determined by fundamental factors.

T Rowe is wildly successful. What I find most interesting is that they didn't take the hook and locate their HQ in NYC, preferring the cheaper Baltimore and its proximity to the top research university since forever. T Rowe's services and track record as more age and want to put their capital to work.

Highly impressive management.

KIP -

Wish I had picked this up a month ago. But, the company is well run and has good solid growth.

Plus, the price seems to be on an overall steady incline (see 5 year chart).
