'In such an environment, as disposable income declines, credit card use goes up.'
In fact it is in all environment - good and bad, the credit card usage is hugely raising globally. Why pay cash if I can get 5% or 10% discount, reward points and 30 to 60 repayment period if I pay by Visa Card.
Today, the world start to know "Cash to Card Transition", leading by Visa then MA.
When we talk about investment, dunno then don't buy, worried then don't buy, so u won't lose your sleep, but don't kick up yourself later on, at least you have a good sleep.
Vwinner is a man, a great investor, look back all his comments. He did say Visa would never see $75 again, if you follow him and get in at that dip, what's you investment return today? Simple caculation, and I am glad I did. His prediction is almost prefect.
Tommy, Visa is a great company which will give you a great return, have fun with short term trade, also my opinon is to keep a core position for long term in 2, 3 years like MA, which will give you a even better return. So you win in both long term and short term.
"And your right...numbers dont lie. V has a high current and forward PE ratio compared to MA. However, I have invested in Visa b/c of the growth potential, worldwide name recognition, the guidance of future growth of this company, guidance of buying Veurope in several months, along with the growth potential in china. Additionally this is a comapny i can relate to b/c i use visa credit cards more than i use cash. Just to keep records of all my purshases without holding on to reciepts. More banks and institution from asia (china, india), middle east, etc..etc.. have invested in this company compared to MA... which tells me that this will be the premier card which will be advertised when people go to banks to get debit/credit card in these developing countries. Although in the short term MA may look good b/c of its PE ratio and EPS....in the long run (3+ years) visa is the much better company. And I am in it for the long run... "

"Green, I like your post's as they are informative. I'll say that MA is a good company too, I own a few shares, but that doesn't mean V is a bubble because value is in the eye of the beholder and I see that V has more bang for the buck. For every RIMM, AAPL, GRMN, MA with small P/E's there are also BIDU, ISRG, UPS, FSLR with huge P/E's, also there are others with ridiculus small P/E's: GS, C, BAC.. So, all companies come from all walks of life and each to his own which can also be said about people in general."
