What the Street Said about Ameritrade “We remain impressed with [Ameritrade’s] ability to achieve profitability during recent challenging market conditions. We believe our initial investment thesis on AMTD still holds, i.e. Low-cost producer, excellent brand, solid technology, etc. and further believe AMTD has the chance to be a big winner in the retail discount brokerage space, long term.” – Bob Napoli, ABN AMRO, 01/22/02 Major Concerns: > Advertising Spending “We believe Ameritrade’s prudent cost management and the deleveraging of its balance sheet have positioned it for strong cash flow generation if customer activity rates show even a modest improvement.” – Greg Smith, J.P.
