Is Mastercard

that much better of a company than Visa that it would trade at 4x the amount.  I just checked out Visa's issuance and it isnt anywhere near where i thought it would be.

I watched a report on them, pretty interesting. If I had the capital it would be worth a look. I think the short answer is no, the two companies are pretty much the same. They both make their profits in the same way, which is different from Discover and American Express.

I expected to see them in the 120-160$ range today.  Cant beleive they are at $50-60.

I think it will get there pretty easily, don't know how long it will take though

If I had the capital I would have been on that train, but being a poor person $50 a share is out of my league

Dont you fret friend, why not embark on some long term options then? I happen to be one of those people that think Visa is our modern day Walmart stock, one you can depend on and grow with.

If your are so certain Visa will be a hit, why not pick up some long term call options? They will cost way less then the stock and you can make quite the profit if you are correct.
