Sorry for the delayed response, but wanted to tell you I agree. Long term Visa is a big buy and having those leeps better yield some return as if this stock doesn’t run like MA then something isn’t right!!

Hope the market volatility has been treating you well, good luck out there!

Howz it goin’ guys.

I understand where Blaine is coming from with the technical analysis, and I agree with him that the Visa stock looks like is may go sideways/go through a consolidation period for a little bit.

I think that Both Blaine and Sammy Flash are right – Blaine, from an active trader/technical standpoint and Sammy, from more of an investor/fundamental standpoint.

Blaine, overall, are do you think that V’s longterm outlook is bullish? Sammy, I’m with you, and believe that it is.

The stock dudes on TV are comparing MA to V all the time. I’m hoping favorable sentiment rises when people pull up charts for MA and realize “WOW, MA started out at about $30 only one year ago and is now trading in the $320 range.” I’m hoping that Visa keeps getting exposure and media says “recession proof” over and over again when talking about this stock. Nothing like some strong sentiment in conjunction with the stellar fundamentals that Sammy pointed out.

Buy yeah, seriously, GO VISA!!! is right. I’m way out-of-the-money on some calls that don’t expire until Jan 2010. Thought I’d buy and hold rather than swing trade this one.

I figure $100 is a slam dunk within 30 days. $150 by the end of the summer and $250 by next April. I base this on the fact that Visa has almost no debt, is capitalized up the ying yang, has a fabulous business model and is a much better run company than MA. Visa will be just another IPO success story like GOOG, MA, and VMR. It is the proven leader in it’s industry and has very little downside risk. I see it becoming a mainstay of every mutual fund in the same way that MSFT and CSCO and GE are. GO VISA!!!

I should have gone for the extra smiley smiley, .

“Visa will keep on chugging up for quite a while just like MA did. Buy it now before it hits $150 or $250!”

What’s the time outlook on your $250 price target Sammy? $44 to $250 is a pretty strong move.

Blain, well, I’d do that but then I’d be taking your advice again! What’s with the emoticon that looks like satan? You should be using this one-

According to the talking heads on CNBC, Friday was just another little “profit taking” day, for some. And, who could blame them if they got into VISA at forty-some bucks! I thought I did good getting in at fifty-some. Quit chasing the money….just be happy for what you have, sit back, and enjoy the ride!
