Pair Trade Visa and Capital One

I do not follow D or AE. If they are transaction companies then they are ok. If they issue credit....well I would be taking yoga lessons so as to not rip any muscle tissue from having to bend over to kiss my own.....goodbye :)

Pair Trade Visa and Capital One

This article is way old news. I don't think anyone is uneducated on V or MA at this point. They do "not" issue credit....they make their $$$ from credit card transactions only.

Even though I am long on V, anyone who makes purchases on credit cards of any kind is a fool if they don't pay the entire balance each month.
IMHO that is a large part of what is wrong in this world today (financially).
Greed and credit= disaster!
If you can't afford it? Don't buy it.

Credit Card Spending Surges, While Retailers Slump

It is sad about Sears though. Sears was the 1st to give me credit when I was 20 years old ( wow that was a long, long time ago ).
Personaly I like Sears. Craftsman tools is all I'll own.

But they have no motivation at there stores. It is definetly an upper management problem too.
Their marketing is a disaster. I have thought many times about sending an e-mail to the VP of sales and sayin; Hey, fire your regional manager over my area and I'll double your inventory turns and boost your same store sales by at least 10% in a 16-20 month period!
It would be sooooo easy. Yes even and really easier during this recession.

I hope cat or others did not give Vwinner (Johnathan) any personal info.

I too have sent the FBI the e-mails in which he sent me.

Kzonck let me know if you need a copy of my emails from him.

IMHO Visa will not be able to move up much if the market as a whole continues to nose dive. In fact it will follow right along with the market until conference call.

Wow I've been called many things in my life but freak isn't one of them.

Lol what you told me as that I was not loyal to the team for posting "balanced posts" instead of ra ra rah and cause I was posting like SA or Yahoo finance. I still have the e-mails should I print them here?

Again Johnathan you are trying to make yourself the important one at others expense. By your own posts on here you are just like the rest of the investors here ( except for your over promoting and clueless on how to make friends and influence people ).

This is an investors blog, you have your own personal blog now, why are you continully coming here?

By your own posts here, people can make there minds up for themselfs for who you really are.

I will not argue with you anymore. I will however pray for you.

I'm sorry to say that I think you may just be right Wez.

Vwinner is getting more and more agressive about telling people they are stupid if they think Visa may have some risk. Or if they think Visa may sit at this mid $70's posistion for a bit.

Why would anyone get so angry with people for stating their opinions? Espescially when theres (us stupid ones) are getting it right on where visa will be and when.

Johnathan, you yourself stated back on the visa article that had like 135 comments that you were buying on the dips and selling high, even though you carried stock in a long posistion. Now you are telling people they are fools if they think V will drop to the $70's.
You are telling me that I am stupid cause I have an opinion that differs from yours or that I post something that isn't rah rah rah go visa even though my tiny 525 shares will be held for 17 years!
Unless V goes to $62.70 where I got in I ain't sellin.
Please don't call me stupid anymore just because I have a different opinion and you booted me off your blog cause in your words "you post like you were on SA or yahoo finance".

Well that song is getting old that MA or V assume no credit risk.
Has anyone ever read their entire prospectus? The risk is that if the issuing bank fails then V or MA have to cover the debt. Now they state that the coverage is only 45% of the original debt.
Ahh the next thing that will be said is that a bank failure is highly unlikely lol.


V Winner's blog is a good one for those that see only one side to visa. Visa, like any other investment vehicle has risk. Especialy nowadays. But it is a good site for info on visa.
