Several strong bull and bear pitches on this one. I think it is worth waqtching, and may buy in the next few months if it suffers a set back.

Here's a theory for you to disregard...
There seems to be a lot of conversation that days of the good ol' "moneygram" is another one of those items that is slowly being phased out as a result of nearly every bank getting into free eTransfers and all that good stuff.

I tend to agree that while us North American folks are able to do a lot more with our computers, what I have discovered is that these sorts of services are still a very popular way for folks in North America to send money overseas to nations that don't quite have the PC infrastructure that we enjoy on a day to day basis.

If you weigh the cost of sending money overseas between MGI in comparison to WU & GPN you will find that MGI actually has a very competitive fee structure and a very broad range of services. It seems MGI has cut themselves a very nice international niche market which seems to be a pretty sound model assuming that we will continue to have people send money overseas or to the Caribbean etc.

Loved it at a buck, still like it at three.
