    I don't see much "value" in this kind of blanket value listing. Would prefer something more akin to e-valu-ating individual stocks, industries, etc., rather than, "Wither the hedge herd, mate?". Reply

    I would like to know how you define "value" in the context that you are using it. I see one of the funds you mention has a position in First Solar. Reply

    User 172125,

    Re: "just compiling data that is readily available". I don't know about you, but MY clock only has 24 hours in a day, so anything that allows me to be more productive in that 24 hours, has value.

    You are entitle to your opinion as I am mine. Vwinner has a history of child-like attacks on many authors. I am not going to just sit around and take it. You want to defend Vwinner (yourself?) good for you. Just like I am entitle to say the guy is worthless. His only point is to attack others, no matter what the content. He is a menace, like a coakroach, and hides under other names because he is a sick individual. Go ahead. Get your kicks. But if there is one thing I hate is a pompous ass. And Vwinner takes the prize. So go ahead. Keep attacking others. It is not going to stop me one bit on voicing my opinion. Again, moron, I have 30 years of risk management experience and a degree in economics and industrial relations. I am a small investor, yes. But I will continue to say what I want and please as long as Alpha sees fit to print it. If you don't like it, take it on with them. But continued attacks just makes you absolutely with no credibility, Vdress. Reply

    Ok- this site is officially gone yahoo-like. You people are absolutely ridiculous. Mr. Bill- It sounds like you have a major case of V -Winner envy- to take so much time to be so concerned about what another member posts on this site makes you sound like a 12 year old.

    Knightowl- come on - grow up. You sound like a child as well.

    Are you both grown men or teenagers.

    You are all being hypocritical as you continue to attack someone who has obviously put out much more (both in quantity and credibility) information about Visa.

    I was curious to see what the three individuals have actually contributed to this site so I took a look at all three of your own histories on Seeking Alpha and found very little redeeming value in any of your own contributions. As they say - men in glass houses should not throw bricks. From what else I was able to gather none of you even have experience in the financial services or investment business.

    Please- do us all a favor and grow up. As I have better things to do with me time I will reserve any and all comments I have in the future to Visa.

    One last thing knightowl- you have taken a Visa forum and turned it into an oil forum. Are there not better places to post your comments about energy?

    Last- and getting back to substance- I must say (if we can focus on the article itself) that I don't find much of value there as well.

    Let us all try to move forward and keep the focus on Visa. That is why I came here- not to hear what I assume (perhaps incorrectly) grown men whining about 'V Winner'- do you all get together for manicures together as well???

    Looks like oil is finding resistance at 115. Gasoline inventories were also lower than expected despite crude oil being higher. I agree with Goldman Sach's assesstment as I am a believer in Peak Oil theory. If this is the beginning of a new leg it only took oil a month and one half to bottom out. Here come the commodities if that is the case. I agreed with many that recommended, like myself, that this month was the time to buy commodities. Reply

    How is the author out of line? I posted an article and this Vwinner attacks me personally. Adding to this, the whole thing started when I decided to say on Vwinner's blog that I thought V would not see 100 this year just prior to 2Q earnings. Jon decided that this was too negative. So he deleted my opinion just like I if was in a communist country. So this so called expert boasted prior to 2Q earnings that Visa would never see below 75 and would see 100 before summer ends. This is very dangerous. I feel sorry for those that took his advice and bought V in the high 80s thinking it would go higher. The bottom line is if you disagree with someone fine. But V goes beyond that. He is the only one that is right and everyone else is wrong. That is being childish and immature. The guy really needs help and is really not worth wasting time on. So all you silly backers of Vwinner stay on his blog and let the rest of the investment world alone.
    I hope Mr. Bill that you are successful in getting this clown off Alpha. You are dojg a great service. Thank you!!!!!

    I agree with you. I am in the UK and I also learnt a lot from V Winners posts. I am not at all sure I want to read many more posts on this group as they seem childlike in the extreme. Reuters posts at the very least do not have this kind of rubbish.

    USER 246127: Again you haven't read the past posts, if you had you would learn that he has attacked every author regardless of what he says, he has his own website which is attack free because he edits it, he recently turned it over to another author so he comes over here and unloads on everyone everyday. I for one will not sit back and let it go unchallenged, i am many times more successful than he will ever dream of being. If you read my posts you will learn i am very respectful and yes i do give advice which i feel well qualified to give. These posts are open to everyone, and for as long as i have been reading these posts not a day goes by without someone being outright insulted. If you feel this is acceptable behavior then good for you, i don't. Seeking Alphas abuse policy is not published and for a while i doubted it existed, however recent events have changed my mind. He recently changed his ID to USER 172125 and lies about it. If there is one thing V WINNER AKA USER 172125 and i agree on is that many new investors due come to this site, they should be protected, they should be able to voice their opinion and yes we should be able point out errors or other points of view, but to personally attack people everyday? If you had done your homework you would know he has very little credibility in business, so you like his writing style and you are willing to overlook everything else? Stay tuned some exciting developments are occurring right now. It is suppose to be an open discussion for all, not to be dominated by a know it all who can't back up his own facts a lot of the time. Common sense should tell you that if you attack someone they will strike back. Don't you think 333+ posts in a few months is over the top and clearly out of line for a casual VISA Blog. And this is just the VISA blog site. It was the man himself in the early days who unequivocally said V would never drop below $75.00 in his lifetime as well as other laughable predictions. And anyone who dared challenged this was treated with you know what. Unfortunately many people bought into this advice and are paying the price now. Visa is a great long term hold, it has it's own problems such as to many shares out and it looks like profit taking will be the result of every run up in the foreseeable future, hence the sideways trading we have been experiencing lately. Listen everyone if you really want to learn a lot about VISA why don't you go to VISA'S website and read all that they have to offer, there will never be a substitute for your own research. I don't have a problem with someone who is very passionate and over zealous about something but i do have a problem when told we are all a bunch"children,si... etc",the list is endless. I am going to step back for a while as the new developments unfold but will respond to abuse as i see it. Here is the email address if you would like to report abuse on this blog, be sure to ask about the abuse policy and remember to mention they should look at past posts. Thanks to the good people and authors of this site, i for one really appreciate. I'll be watching.

    Wrong place to post this but IMHO it is time to get back in the oil game.
    The US may be finally somewhat cutting back on oil usage but the rest of the world isn't standing still. If Opec cuts back on production in September like they have hinted to....then you will see oil back in the 140's in short order.

    Mr. Bill- I have read many of posts from virtually anyone and everyone posting on Visa since the IPO- I have learned a lot from V Winner- I have learned nothing from you. Why, for example- are you in particular so upset at V Winner- when the author of the article is the one out of line? You seem to have your own insecurity about him- and it is out of line- as the author of the article here is obviously the one out of line.

    I, for one, would like to actually go to a visa post- and discuss Visa- instead of this child-like dribble that will not make me any money.

    I was very happy to see that institutional ownership increased to beyond 50% (something I learned from the much-maligned V Winner blog!)- So could we get back to the Visa discussion people!!!Please?
