Discover Financial: A Creditable Investment - Barron's

my only concern in your article was your comment that consumer spending might be recovering - if it is, it seems to be more of a debt add on right now than the processing of daily expenses via the convenience of cc use, and then paid off each month

i'm not sure adding to permanent growing debt will eventually help discover or the consumer, at least in a declining economy

we've used discover for both cc use, cd's, and money markets for many years, so this is not meant as a dig to them; strictly a comment re debt use at this time

thanks though, interesting article
