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.

briansol · 04-06-2008, 09:38 PM

agreed. i'm up about 2% since i bought... and its been +/- a couple points ever since. hasn't really gone anywhere.

briansol · 04-10-2008, 08:27 PM

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.

titan22 · 04-10-2008, 11:11 PM

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

briansol · 04-21-2008, 06:51 PM

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.

titan22 · 04-25-2008, 03:15 PM

visa up almost $5/share since last post.

briansol · 04-25-2008, 07:48 PM

im up 16.6% right now

titan22 · 04-25-2008, 09:01 PM

i'm sure it will go up more. i see it hitting $100 by jan. 1

briansol · 04-29-2008, 09:04 PM

$5.25 a share bump today!! sweet.

i'm up 25.78%

titan22 · 04-30-2008, 07:07 PM

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

briansol · 05-01-2008, 06:20 AM

Another good day.

up 29.77% now ! lol

i should've bought so much more than 30 shares

briansol · 05-01-2008, 06:22 AM

And i don't know about that. have you seen mastercard? it's up up up

MA

titan22 · 05-01-2008, 03:20 PM

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.

briansol · 05-01-2008, 05:11 PM

up up up again!!! still mid-day, but i'm nearing 35% right now

briansol · 05-01-2008, 08:31 PM

day closed at up 33%

titan22 · 05-01-2008, 09:23 PM

it's a good buy. had a guy call today that liked visa so much he was considering selling his mercedes 500slk to buy more.

titan22 · 05-02-2008, 03:03 PM

ouch, visa and mastercard are taking a hit today.

titan22 · 05-02-2008, 08:29 PM

visa dropped $2.65 today. not bad for all the gains. funny how it rose a lot when oil dropped. oil jumped today and visa dropped.

briansol · 05-04-2008, 09:14 PM

basically, it got set back one day. it made about 2.50 on thursday.

titan22 · 05-05-2008, 10:04 PM

geez, i guess we can parallel visa to oil prices at this point. haha

briansol · 05-06-2008, 09:55 PM

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

briansol · 05-07-2008, 05:26 PM

up 38.65% right now.

god i wish i had a shit ton more money to dump into this.

i literally could have retired if i had put 100k into it lol
