FXE in downtrend will hurt earnings in future - Mastercard 10QImpact of Foreign Currency Rates
Our operations are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In most regions, except Europe, assessments are calculated based on local currency volume converted to U.S. dollar volume using average exchange rates for the related assessment period. In Europe, the non-euro volumes are converted to the euro. As a result, assessment revenues are impacted by the overall strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar or euro compared to the foreign currencies of the related local volumes in each period. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the U.S. dollar weakened as evidenced by a 16.6% and 17.4%, respectively, increase in gross dollar volume ("GDV") on a U.S. dollar converted basis exceeding local currency GDV growth of 12.8% and 14.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
We are especially impacted by the movements of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar since the functional currency of MasterCard Europe, our principal European operating subsidiary, is the euro. The strengthening or devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the euro impacts the translation of MasterCard Europe's operating results into U.S. dollar amounts

Instead of riding the wave up like many investors do, and then end up losing a significant amount of money whe the stock collapses. You should be giving investors reason for pause. If this was the best consumer market in te history of Masterercard, it still overvalued at current levels.1) Price to sales 7 S&P 1.5
2)PE 33
3)price to cash flow 31
4)Peg Ratio 2.01
5)RSI 75 anything over 70 is considered overbought.
6) Legislative risk
7) Sept 9,08 Trial with AXP -They could be liable for 3 Billion dollars
8) EU commission ruling on interchange fees.
But no, Just jump on the bandwagon like everyone did at the top of the Homebuilders & financials.
