Default Hold on Visa
I've been watching Visa since the IPO. I wouldn't expect it to go out of the mid $60-$68 range for a while. I think it has found it's hold area. If you got in on the IPO, good, if not and you bought in the aftermarket, hold on to it for a while. I think it has room to grow, but it wont see astronomical gains like mastercard had. Not any time soon that is. I think in the long run it will be a good stock to add to a diverse portfolio.

Well, i'm taking back my statement. I think visa is still a strong buy.

most places i've seen have said $100 by the end of the year. And I beleive it.

$100 is believable. i keep hearing rumors of a second half comeback. if this thing hits $70, i'll buy it.

My only regret with visa is that i didn't buy more.
I'm up 11.20% as of this writing.... and it hasn't been a month yet

The following is a two year chart of MasterCard (MA). I’d expect to see a similar pattern in Visa over the next year. With a 52 week high break (or better yet $70 dollar break on Visa) buyers will enter and we should see a steady rise towards the next physiological target of $100.
ha, analysts are saying the same thing i said. i'm gaining more confidence in my stock picks. now if i just had the funding to back it all.

what a return. i'm a firm believer that if this was not released during a strong recession, it wouldn't have these types of gains.

consumers are investing in the credit markets right now. and for good reason. i would elaborate, but it would take about 3 hours. haha

mastercard is going crazy too. but it's hard to get many shares when the price is so high. same with google jumping $90/share in one day. it's easy to say that you can gain a lot, but how many shares of a $430 stock can an individual buy? 100 shares is going to run you nearly $45k. that much assets into one stock is a huge gamble. putting all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.

i think it's more to do with the dollar.

oil spiked becuase the dollar sank again against the eruo.
with it, stocks bounced up.

the dow as a whole is way up today because of the bad dollar news
