i concur--H O L D!!! earlier poster said any upside surprise in earnings was already built into the stock. twasn't true $12 ago & probably still not built in. while i personally won't be surprised with "earn surprise (i sat the last one out, expecting it!?!?!?!?) imho if it does beat expectations it will soar (at least temporarily) 2nd consecutive positive quarter will confirm that this co has the formula down. amtd is a long way from getting the respect other net broker stocks are getting--not sure of pe multiple in relation to others...anyone? i like this industry. stock trading is so cut and dried. why would anyone continue to pay merrill $65 for a simple trade. in this "era" there are a handful of mega-stocks that outperform. i don't need merrill to tell me to buy msft aol etc.
