  • Did the E*Trade Baby Pay Off? [View article]
    It's not often you see a company in a bad situation do all the right things to turn it around. ETFC will be back. And stronger than ever.

  • Still Bearish on Financials - Stop Trading! (5/29/08) [View article]
    Quintuple? Maybe, but that's a pretty tough sell for C.

    But I do agree financials will come back and come back big. It's just a question of where the best plays are and it's a little early to tell yet.

  • Visa Estimates Upped Through 2010 [View article]
    A nice amount of June shorts between $67.50 - $80 for V. Should be some good squeeze action the rest of the week.

  • Visa Estimates Upped Through 2010 [View article]
    Good call by Sun ... though I'd rather see lower estimates and a grand smashing next quarter.

    What I really want to see though, is how their mobile payments platform pans out a couple quarters from now. If they start getting major carriers on board pushing the buzz, V will go stratospheric.

  • The Online Brokerage Wars: E*Trade Offers Compelling Risk/Reward [View article]
    Nice angle Rafael,

    Totally agree; ETFC "gets" advertising.

    Seeing their banner ads plastered in every corner of the net is one of the main reasons I bought in - most companies are wimpering in the corner when they're down. But these guys are out there sellin' it. And it's paying off.

  • Seeking E*Trade's 'Magic Moment' [View article]
    jbmaria,

    Bashing the stock + saying you've never shorted it = no credibility.

    I think it's a great buy so I bought it. If you think differently, cool. Short the stock so I can squeeze you out and make some money.

    Of course, if your equation is ...

    Bashing the stock + obvious lunatic = reverse psychology pumping the stock ...

    well, that works for me too.

    So just to summarize ... thanks!!

    ETFC is solid.

    Worst case scenario is someone steps in and buys them. Best case, they pop this summer. At 4 bucks, both are a win.

    It's really a question of can you make more, and faster, somewhere else.

  • A Reason To Be Cautious on Visa, Mastercard  [View article]
    I got nothing against Amex or their business model ... but V/MA own 80% of the market for a reason. Actually, for quite a few reasons.

    And reframing those reasons as upsides for Amex isn't going to change that fact.

  • The Great MasterCard - Visa Debates  [View article]
    For some reason, since I bought Visa, it takes me 4 separate transactions on my card to fill up my gastank. Weird huh?

    haha
