    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the credit card companies process and profit from debit cards as well as credit cards. Investing in (most) credit card companies was to invest in the card technology and the naturally inflation hedged business model which collects a percentage of each transaction. Reply

    Why don't you just ignore the financial sector altogether. There are a lot easier plays out there instead of playing one of the most dangerous sectors. Reply

    kingeggie you are rather naive to think that debit cards cost nothing.Obviously you do not have a lot of control on your finances. and I bet you your bank loves you. Reply

    "Berkeley Bob": Don't give up on a stock so soon and remember not to ever invest more than you can afford to lose. "bmaclaverty"... it would be hard to mimic Harvard exactly, remember they are only 12% in domestic stocks however with ETF'S and Sector Mutual Funds and Foreign Stocks you could come close, however a big part of their investment is in Hedge Funds and Private Equity.
    Remember Equity Investing just like Real Estate has to be managed it is not like a painting you buy and hang on a wall, hope this helps.     Reply

    Anastos,

    I work in the Payment Solutions area FOR OVER 12 YEARS, I would NEVER use a DEBIT CARD. If you use your Credit Card WISELY, then you pay 0% and get rewards. If you run into an issue with a purchase you DISPUTE it, and your money is STILL in your own checking account...
    Maybe you should gain / gather / buy a little intelligence before you open your wallet.     Reply

    If you pay off your cc ballance every month, why do you need OPM? A debet card costs nothing and you only spend what you have.It works for me. Reply

    I took a small nibble on NYX because I felt there was value at $71.75 (mid-May) but sold about a month later at $59.20 because share volume seems to continue in a long term decline. A lot of large transactions seem to happen after market close or "off books" by institutional investors Reply

    I think this is a well written article that reads like a story and not as dry financial analysis. A lot of financial journalism seems to be just facts and statistics, but I appreciate that this author took the time to work out a very well thought out, very logical analysis.

    I think that American Express has to be one of the best buys on the market if you are patient like the author suggests even though it's not his favorite pick.     Reply

    Great article which points out the subtleties (sic) of making things that sound the same BE the same in the mind of the reader. Lies, damn lies and statistics. Reply

    very interesting strategy for playing the financial sector. I have been really taken to the cleaners on some stocks I've held for years in the banking sector. I continue to hold Citi and Bank of America because I don't think they will go to zero but I have really been disgusted with the losses and I'm kind a stuck holding the bag.

    I like how you emphasize that investors are obviously tempted to jump in the market because "it looks cheap" and if they can't resist these were your recommendations on how to play the financial sector without unnecessary risk in case the market doesn't just snap back up like people hope     Reply

    I am 110% with Hoser, that s what smart people are doing.Ever heard of OPM anastos? Other s People Money, use it wisely and you will be rewarded .Wisely means don t spend more that you can afford and always pay on time the balance owed. My wife and have been travelling once a year using the free air miles and thanks to my discipline or should I say thanks to the lack of discipline of others.

    Visa and MasterCard are transaction processors (i.e. networks). They don't issue any credit debt. Reply
