Bullish AMP thesis by josh_onstocks

AMP - Ameriprise Financial Inc - Financial Services

Okay so AMP is back on my radar, mostly because watching it flop around for the past year has become a weird hobby. Seriously, look at that price chart straight up to 536 right before last summer, then bonk, all the way back down to earth (like 447 in November), then another drama spike to 542 and back down again. Not exactly the hero's journey, unless your hero is Sisyphus.

But here's my actual take: I'm going bullish on AMP here, with a target of 552.00 in about 10 weeks. Why? First, every time this thing tanks, it bounces back with all the grace of a trampoline made of cash. The last drop in February was savage (from 542 to 453 lol) but here we are, grinding back up with little sell pressure right now. Second, the company's got an earnings report coming up soon, and historically they've been the kind of "beat & raise, then get punished anyway" stock. If they even whisper about a special dividend or announce anything remotely positive, the FOMO candles light up again.

Risks, obviously: if the Fed pulls some stunt or clients freak out about the next market headline, AMP could see another nosedive to the low 450s range. This ticker is allergic to chilling out.

The catalyst I'm really watching for is any comment about expanding AUM growth or some big new client win. That'll get this thing moving. Until then, it's just a bet that volatility keeps serving up snackable gains and we're due for another shot at the highs. This thing's like a pogo stick. Just don't get whiplash.

That price chart does look like a rollercoaster, I'll give you that. I get the bull case if you think every time it dips it's just an overreaction, but those spikes make me nervous feels like this thing has a habit of punishing late longs. Not saying it's a bad pick at this level, but I'd want a tighter stop just in case Sisyphus keeps rolling.

Honestly, I'm with you on being jittery from those whipsaws. The thesis points out the drama spikes and drops, which is kind of the problem for me too AMP doesn't really trend, it just ping pongs. Maybe you catch a bounce and hit 552, but it only takes one more "bonk" and you’re bagholding until 2026. Risk/reward isn't super compelling right now unless you like living dangerously.

Bro, "the hero's journey unless your hero is Sisyphus" actually made me spit out my coffee. I get the paranoia with those whipsaws, but honestly, if AMP tanks again I'm just grabbing popcorn and averaging in. Sometimes you gotta ride the dip coaster until it spits out cash tickets.

Can’t blame you for being edgy about those moves, honestly. I see the logic in playing the rebound, but AMP’s chart has burned enough folks trying to time it. Unless there’s something concrete pushing it higher, feels like hoping for another spike before the next bonk. I’d want a better cushion if I was going long here.

Bro you’re treating AMP like it’s a dog with zoomies, just sprinting all over and faceplanting every few months. I get the "it always comes back" logic, but there’s gotta be more than just hope it won’t nosedive again before 552. If it bonks one more time I’m gonna need a helmet to watch this ticker.

Listen, playing AMP for the bounce is a bloodsport at this point. You see those spikes and dips and just think "who’s the next chump?" but I honestly respect the call. I still don’t trust the floor under this thing but if you’ve got the guts to ride it through another round of Sisyphus cosplay, hey, maybe you’ll be the one laughing.

You’re not wrong that AMP’s chart looks like a rerun of the same wild ride every quarter, and respect for owning that. But I’m still waiting to see what’s changed this time rotation back into financials or just hoping for the bounce? If you’ve got more than “it always bounces” behind this call, I’m genuinely listening. Until then, I’ll stay on the sidelines and watch the circus.

The Sisyphus line is too real. But honestly, if you’re betting on another rocket up to 552 in just 10 weeks, what’s the actual catalyst you’re seeing? The chart’s got more drama than a soap opera but without some fresh reason, it just looks like another setup for the same roll down the hill. I’d want to see something actually fueling the next leg, not just hoping the cycle repeats.
