      Big Ben's Credit Card Moves: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
      We'll see who the "greater fool" is when V is trading at $200+ one year from now... that may put a little dent in your "automatic fail" theory, eh?

      Keep collecting your 1-2% dividends on your "tradeable" stocks and I'll continue to 10-fold my investments every 2 months with V option calls... as Visa drastically continues to go up over the next year.

      Hey, maybe if some of your expert picks work out you'll make a whopping 10% gain this year! Good Luck! (I'll go ahead and make that before 10am tomorrow...)

      To each his own (some just prefer to own more than others).

      Bottom line is that unless people actually stop buying things, the actual number of transactions should not be effected - I've never had a credit card in my entire life, however I use my debit card with a little Visa logo on it about 5-6 times per day...

      So, either people stop buying food, gas, clothes, and everything else and the whole economy falls completely apart... OR everyone starts using cash only... OR they use their bank issued DEBIT card with a Visa and Mastercard logo.

      I don't think people are going to start using cash and/or stop buying things just because they may not have a credit card... Yes, there may be a little less spending initially due to the fact that less people will be able to spend money they don't have (by using a credit card)... But, if you think about it logically and long term this will free a lot of people from debt that they may have had, hence providing them money to spend buying goods (using their debt card) vs. paying off credit card bills...

      So, the only scenario that could hurt Visa or Mastercard would be if people stopped spending money, in which case we would have a much larger problem on our hands and EVERY stock would be effected (more so than Visa or Mastercard).

      However, quit the opposite will likely happen - people will have more money and they will do more transactions, due to less debt to pay off!

      Yes, I do hold shares of Visa... and Yes, I have bought in on a TON of call options... and I've filthy rich because of it (10X return in less than 2 months). I hold no shares and I could careless if the stock is going up or down because I just play the direction of the stock, however I don't see Visa heading anyway but way up... to think it would go any other direction is just crazy. Visa will be at $120+ by new years and this whole "good, bad, ugly" thing will not even phase it...

      What If Microsoft Is Pursuing the Wrong Business?
      You ever think that maybe a multi-billion dollar company could have more than one focus, there acer? I'm sure their plan is not to have all their software developers start to work on online advertising...

      I see no reason why a company as large as Microsoft couldn't handle moving forward and being successful in multiple channels. Why not?

      And this "strategy" you quote I'm sure is not the new company wide mission - He is talking about only this specific aspect of the business that they plan to expand.

      Think before you stink, slick Rick.

      Visa: Near-Term Fluctuations Present a Buying Opportunity
      Yep, you've been right on V Winner and I've followed your advice, I've taken a risker approach that has paid off quit handsomely - I have been buying/selling call options! Banked nearly a 8X return so far on April and May Calls, buying low - selling high. I've turned $20K into $158K.

      I've made more in the past month than I made in the past 2 years investing!

      Plus I've been buying stock on the dips all along and I have about $75K invested there... I'm looking to grab some more today, especially if it dips to $77 - My prediction... V closes $83 today, $85 tomorrow, $87 on Friday, and breaks $90 on Monday... then it has some ups and downs, but slowly climbs to $100+ by mid June (just placed an order to buy June $100 call).
