      Visa, Mastercard Risk Ramped Up Competition
      Wez, you are just splitting hairs, but MoneyGuru's original point is meaningless anyway (his claim about V not having EPS is just wrong). MC has much fewer shares but it has a much higher price. They could easily have a stock split to increase the number of shares and bring the price down closer to V's range.

      But that article is a very good analysis. V is fairly valued at about $40, compared to MC. This makes sense as that is what the IPO priced it around. The premium on the stock right now is due mostly to hype. We won't know the true growth picture for a few months until we get more useful data.

      Reconsidering the Deflation Risk
      Heh, what exactly is deflating? And what is inflating? The things that are deflating are the very things that were so inflated over the past few years. However, the things that are inflating have a real economic basis for doing so: supply and demand.

      Also, isn't dollar devaluation just a semantical way of describing inflation?

      It's true, its all just semantics which only serve to confuse the public. But there is no confusion when it comes to "How much money do I have and what can I afford to buy."

      The Last Time Globalization Collapsed: Parallels to Today
      Unfortunately, much of today's problems are only being brought to light because of the recent herd-driven bubble-ism. However, the roots of the problems go much deeper and further back than that.

      U.S. Dollar Paradigm Shift Underway
      Nobody is claiming that going back to a gold standard will "save" the country. All we are saying is, if you want to save YOURSELF, it would behoove you to stop drinking from the punch bowl.

      Also, just look at Michael Krause's credentials...or, should I say, lack of credentials. an "economics blogger" whose only professional claim is that he co-founded an ISP during the tech bubble????

      Give me a freaking break! Although it is fun to rail against propagandists like him.

      U.S. Dollar Paradigm Shift Underway
      The reality is, there is a commodity base for the dollar: it's oil. Oil has real, intrinsic value, paper does not. Unfortunately, oil is a limited commodity that is used up. Also unfortunately, since oil is concentrated in the middle east, the united states is forced to exert military influence there merely to protect our financial system. People around the world (except for most americans, it seems) are starting to realize this, including our middle eastern "allies". Kuwait used to peg there currency to the dollar. They recently depegged and were able to get their inflation under control. Contrast that with saudi arabia who maintains a dollar peg. their inflation is through the roof. they are not too happy about that.

      It's not rocket science.

      I was comparing it the united states, genius, thus the line about, "The dollar has been money for only 200 some years"

      The dollar has been money for only 200 some years. gold and silver have been money for thousands of years. No fiat currency ever survives. If you look at the history of coinage of the roman empire, you can trace the metal content and see that the actual amount of precious metal content decreased as the empire collapsed. But if you only want to look at the past 30 to 40 years, then that is your choice..... heh

      How Much Ammo Does the Fed Have Left?
      Just wait until the middle eastern oil producers depeg their currencies to our infamous dollar. The big question is: What is the real basis of value?? Also, what happened to all those senators and congressmen clamoring for China to depeg? Heh, what a mess.
