<> 
<> With the economic downturn, rising unemployment, decline in house prices, and limited ability for consumers to continue using their homes as an ATM; credit card debt is poised to be the next disaster in the financial sector with bearish outlooks for credit lenders Capital One (COF), Discover (DFS), and American Express (AXP). Credit card processors such as Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA) have also declined with the overall market, but are leveraged to the volume of transactions with debit and credit cards rather than...

Discover Card is being hurt by the weak consumer and credit crunch just like all the other financials. Unfortunately for it, it lacks the same brand strength of V, MA, and AXP.

Discover Financial Services has been gaining market share, most recently though its purchase of Diners Club. They are also sueing Visa and MC for blocking their marketshare. I think that Discover will grow by leaps and bounds in the coming couple years... Maybe we could see $100 a share in a couple years!

Bookkeeping: Adding to Discover Financial (DFS)
|

|
As we did Friday with 4 other positions, as Discover Financial Services (DFS) breaks back north of the 50 day moving average we will re-expand our allocation; I am adding 1% exposure in the $14.90s.
On a side note - the Russell 2000 we noted as a lagging index is progressing nicely intraday, having pierced the 20 and 50 day moving averages at once... a close over this level, as noted in our weekly summary, would be beneficial to the bulls.
One month ago at this time, we began a furious rally the Monday after a poor jobs report. I said at that moment "poor job report? what poor job report?"< />< /><><>< />< />< />< /><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Discover Financial: Quite Solid Results, All Things Considered
<>I have a long Discover Financial (DFS) position married against a short Capital One (COF) position; but in this day and age such hedging strategies are moot points. Every stock in a sector goes up (or more rarely nowadays, down) as based on HFT algorithms. Differentiating between companies within a sector is moot as all go in the same direction. Our term for this has been "monolithic trading". We're slowly adjusting to this reality even though we've been pointing it out for over 2 years.
