Dow Theory eyes Aflac (AFL)
2009-08-19 14:00:00 "Aflac (NYSE: AFL) is delivering solid growth in operating profits despite the recession, " says Richard Moroney. Here's his latest from the blue-chip Dow Theory Forecasts."Aflac is a low-cost provider of supplemental life and health insurance in Japan and the U.S. The firm' investment portfolio, vulnerable to the fate of European banks, has kept the company in hot water."Its total investments and cash totaled $65.6 billion at the end of June, up 6% from the end of March. Since February, investors have feared investment losses could swamp the stock. The primary culprit is European hybrid securities issued by banks at risk of nationalization. "So- far, those fears appear exaggerated — values of European securities have begun to recover. Unrealized losses on investments available for sale are $4.9 billion, roughly 7% of the total portfolio and down from $5.9 billion in March. "The company realized $249 million in investme...

Great Ad!...What was it for again?
2007-09-17 01:31:00 TV ads have become so theatrical, production value is so much higher than in past decades, that they often overshadow the very products and brands they are suppose to promote. I find many ads entertaining, funny, and very well made. However, are they doing their job? To be sure, there are many that do a great job of making the product/brand central, Aflac comes to mind as a recent home run. Of course what is the option? With these traditional ads being blocked more and more, it is almost a must to make our ads so entertaining or note-worthy that people will look for them on the DVR or YouTube! Today, 15% of consumers say that they use technology to skip TV ads ? more than three times as many as in 2004. This behavior will continue to spread ?
