MA: Bull or Bear?
Is MasterCard's Stock Headed to $300 and Beyond?
MA
+125.25%
in
860 days
Filed under: MasterCard Inc'A' (MA), Stocks to Buy  I first discussed MasterCard Inc. (MA) here on April 13, 2009, at a price of $176.06, and shares have vectored toward $250 resistance after a dip to $215 this winter. I obviously still like the business model at this stage.
<>Look for MasterCard to post an impressive 9% to 12% revenue increase in 2011 and a 7% to 9% gain in 2012. MasterCard has emerged from the nation's worst recession in more than 25 years in enviable shape, even amid the frugal consumer era that's likely to restrict U.S. consumer spending. Look for transaction growth to conti...

MasterCard's Pull-Back: A Correction or Something Worse?
MA
+16.57%
in
196 days
(closed on 02/09/11)
Filed under: MasterCard Inc'A' (MA), Stocks to Buy  Talk about hair cuts. The shares of MasterCard Inc. (MA), first discussed here on April 13, 2009 at a price of $176.06, plunged 21% in the past three months, amid the Dow's retreat.
The drop has turned a once big-winner trade into only a modest gain, but the calculation here is that the price move represents an overcorrection. Here's why:
MasterCard's revenue should increase an impressive 9-12% in 2010 and 10-15% in 2011. MA has emerged from the nation's worst recession in more than 25 years in enviable shape, even amid the 'frugal consumer' ...

Failure of Interest-Rate Cap Amendment ... Priceless

Filed under: MasterCard Inc'A' (MA), Stocks to Buy It took an act of Congress, but MasterCard (MA) was one of only three stocks in the S&P 500 to gain value during Thursday's market sell off. <>The U.S. Senate approved a financial reform bill that creates a consumer protection agency, prohibits banks from investing in derivatives and limits proprietary trading by banks by a vote of 59 to 39 Thursday. However, one key amendment that would have allowed states to cap interest rates on out-of-state lenders -- especially credit card providers, like MasterCard -- fell by the wayside as the bill moved...

Filed under: Apple Inc (AAPL), Nokia Corp. (NOK), MasterCard Inc'A' (MA), Stocks to Buy, American Eagle Outfitters (AEO)  The stock market and words like "Dow" still strike fear into the hearts and minds of the many who lived throughthe stock market crashes of 2008 and 2009. But the market is on the mend and there are some promising stocks that could become breakout hits for 2010 if investors don't get overly trigger-shy.
Telecommunications and computing stocks are some of the safer bets, but credit and gaming stocks could potentially offer big rewards to the more aggressive investor. So what...

(closed on 07/28/10)
Filed under: MasterCard Inc'A' (MA), Stocks to Buy  The uptrend continues with credit card/payment solutions provider Mastercard Inc. (MA), and it goes without saying that I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for the company's shares, first recommended on April 13, 2009 at a price of $176.06. If you bought MA in April 2009, you're up about 48%.
MA has emerged from the nation's worst recession in more than 25 years in enviable shape, even amid the 'frugal consumer' era that's likely to restrict U.S. consumer spending. Look for transaction growth to continue, as a result of the U.S./global trend tow...

Real bargain stock #7: MasterCard (MA)
MA
+179.42%
in
1353 days
Filed under: MasterCard Inc'A' (MA), Stocks to Buy  I'd venture a guess that you have at least one, if not multiple, MasterCard (NYSE: MA) credit cards in your wallet right now.
In addition to its credit card division, the company provides transaction processing services to its customers that support its credit, deposit access, electronic cash, and automated teller machine payment card programs. The goal of the company is an ambitious one: to put the use of cash out of business. <>The stock has certainly been on a tear since its 2006 debut, rising to over $300 per share near the midway point of 2...

<>While the Philly Fed Numbers's are just about unbelievable, in the real sense of the word, it has been enough to halt the slide at least for now. Regardless of the back and forth, I continue to be sitting on my hands watching as the market discourages those trying to find a shorter term edge. I stand firmly planted in the land of the Swiss, with a thesis that before the next swing tradeable move, Mr. Market will do a great job in depleting as much emotional capi...

<> 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...

My latest MSN Strategy Lab Journal Update: Lately there has been a generally accepted theory that credit card issuers with exposure to loan losses will have great difficulty in this slowing economy, while card companies that simply earn money from transactions will thrive.
That’s incorrect.
The latter group contains two well-known companies, MasterCard (MA) and Visa (V), [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Why I am short MasterCard", url: "http://www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com/blog/2008/09/05/why-i-am-short-mastercard/" });</script>

MasterCard: Driven by Global Growth
MA

in

<>The market saw a major change yesterday. The eight dollar pull back in the price of oil looks to have at least set its price to trade between the $100 and $110 mark. This is only speculation as a new trading pattern has not established itself. If we were to listen to many of the energy experts, as with T. Boone Pickens, the $100 bottom is almost here. With that said, it should stimulate some growth in the US stock market as the dollar should strengthen somewhat and although there is a global slowdown, generally speaking US stocks should see upside going forwa...
