Trades in a fairly consistent range. I always buy when it dips below 20 and usually buy when below 21--then sell after a 0.5 to 1 pt rise. A good channeling stock.

new laws/regulations could cost them more to operate. the immigration situation is not helping either, companies are not able to hire many of them, so you can expect lesser number to send money home. the increase competions from other new technologies continue to stack up.  ATM, Paypal, Bank Transfer, increased local/small shop and Lot more different services, which are much cheaper and more convenient.

Consider Western Union, on the revival of sending money home

Filed under: Western Union (WU), Stocks to Buy

I'm reiterating my Buy rating for Western Union (NYSE: WU), first recommended on July 9, 2009 at a price of $16.49. If you bought WU then, you're up about 20%.

The July call confirmed an earlier calculation that pointed to a decent 4-7% revenue gain in FY2010 for Western Union.

Will Western Union (WU) break $20?

The Western Union Company (Public, NYSE:WU) has been stealthily moving up since dropping down to the $10 level earlier this year.

Shares are up 58% in the last 6 months, and the question is, can WU shares break $20 and keep going?

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of news to report on WU. The latest news includes an acquisition of Custom House, a B2B payment provider out of British Columbia.

Other than that, not much to report. So we have to rely on Charts
