A Look at Earnings: Visa, Interactive, McGraw-Hill

"one can only wonder how Visa crushed the quarter when carrying the brunt of a declining consumer"

Really? I am surprised by the comment. Visa is a toll booth for credit and debit transactions; it does not lend money to consumers. Same with Mastercard. American Express is different.

As long as the volume of paperless transactions grow in the world, Visa and Mastercard will grow. Hope this helps.
