Unlike Master Card Visa does not issue debt. They are only a processor. Even with the current credit crunch people are inclined to use more and more credit. Our technology is headed to people earning rewards everytime they use their credit cards/debi...

Will be at $200 plus in two years, that's why I have 200 shares. The thirty something generation was brought up using these cards and our younger siblings and our kids will do the same.

There's much in the news and on CAPS lately about how consumer credit card issuers are taking it on the chin following recent mortgate woes. But believe it or not, there IS a consumer credit long play for CAPSters - one that benefits from America's s...

There's a lot of reasons to like Visa. Compare the current price of Visa to the current price of Mastercard and you've got to like the chances for growth. Additionally, a significant chunk of Visa's income comes not from issuing credit, but rather fr...

4 times as much outstanding stock as Mastercard and less than 2 times the market cap. predictions are a tad overzealous to think this will go above $200 (or $100 for that matter). recent pop in the last few days was due to a 10% stock buyback. fact o...

Increased growth of credit usage in emerging economies, and in particular BRIC countries, will drive growth. It generates its revenue from data processing and service fees, which should continue to grow as the world becomes more and more electronic ...

If you take into account the performance of Mastercard over the last couple of years it's hard to ignore this company. Visa is superior to Mastercard and has a larger marketshare. We're looking at the leader here and leaders don't stay back at IPO pr...

If Mastercard's IPO is any indicator, Visa should outperform. It makes its money even during a downturn in the economy due to the fees it collects when a person uses a card with a Visa logo. So even the debit card swipe at the McDonalds adds to their...

VISA, it's everywhere you want to be. VISA is the card of choice, almost synonymous with "credit card". The comparison to master card is apt, since both are processors and not creditors. It insures that so long as they can remain fairly lean, they...
