The more and more investors realize they make money from swipes, with basically zero credit risk the sky is the limit, just like V

MA has saturated the market. Will people really take on more debt right now? There's a temporary sting that people have against owning debt right now as a backlash from the housing crunch. Give it a year before people will start spending more than they have again.

MA is currently in a pull back after hitting the $300 mark. Expect to see MA surpass and stay above the $300 mark in the near term. People will continue using credit!

Waiting for a pullback to around $260ish to jump in.
Great growth potential in the developing nations in the next couple of years.

Mastercard and Visa run this sector. The sad thing is they even profit from the credit crunch. Both companies are directly correlated so if Visa goes up so should MA respectively. Mastercard even beat the financials in the recent quarter with Visas huge IPO.

Mastercard and Visa are 2 great picks. I think that as long as Visa keeps climbing, so will Mastercard. And it just keeps getting better.

This one left the station at 44 and has not stopped.
* Consumer debt continues to increase as people use more plastic and less cash
* MA shielded from any debt risk as they collect fees per each debit/credit transaction and let the issuing banks assume the debt.
* Global growth as plastic use increases outside of the US
* Second-largest credit card brand; huge moat
Risks:
* richly valued as investors bet on continued outstanding growth
* ongoing litigation risk (but $$ has been set aside to cover settlements)
* congressional attempts to rein in fees
* spending downtrends (but as 1Q CY08 showed, it didn't stop MA and V)
Personal note: I have owned MA since its IPO and only wish that a) I did not sell most at 45 and b) I had made this a CAPS recommendation long ago
