I set a screen with the following: Greater than 15% 13 week price change, $10 cash per share or more, greater than 15% institutional ownership, and EPS of $5 or more. The idea was to look for companies that are in acquisition mode (or targets thereof).

only going higher from here!

I bought the stock at its IPO at $43, and I am still holding it. I am a long-term investor, and I only invest in the companies I see with great potential.
MA is a great company with a good business model. As far as I see, $100 a share is undervalued for the company like MA.
One thing I learn about stocks is it's a rollercoster. If you are a long-term investor and if you do not care about the short-term swing, it's still not too late to invest in MA.
It's just my 2 cents.

The next Google!!

ma was a very good IPO. A good percent of people use Master Card.

Mastercard collects fees for each transaction and is very popular in Europe and overseas. So foreign revenue should be high.

Global trend of more people using plastic tomorrow than today. Less people using paper tomorrow than today. More people using debit than credit. Worldwide trend to mass expansion of financial tools for the world's largest populations. Visa can't get to the market fast enough. Upside, upside and a wonderfully scalable underlying business model. No need to worry about pricing power. Makes money while you sleep every time a transaction is processed worldwide.

Business stands to benefit from the overall trend of using credit cards instead of cash for purchases.

Just like the commericals, "Priceless". The company will continue growth with the increasing number of transactions consumers make using their credit card and debit cards.

master card: priceless!!!!!!!

I should have bought it when it was first offered. I'd be a rich man now.

I use Mastercard for everything. I think they are making lots of money and will continue to do so.

When VISA goes IPO, MA will get another huge upswing.

Defaults are skyrocketing
