Agreed. I got in at 183 as well so I'm pretty happy myself.

Ace midnight: I'm fairly new, too, especially single stocks, but I'm a quick learner. What V does is act as a toll road for consumption. Now, global consumption could go down in another recession (if we're even clear of the last one), and hurt a little, but there are only about 175 million online shoppers right now - that is expected to expand to 350 to 400 million over the next 10 years and could top 1 billion in 25. Many of those people are not born yet or do not have credit cards. The sky is the limit for V. The company makes money and does not carry consumer debt. People are already talking about a post-currency world. How do you think business will be conducted? V has the lion's share of the credit card business, and handles transactions in every currency, every language and every country on Earth.
All great points. I will probably make this my next purchase, and you just reinforced why it's a good idea. The key to everything in investing is to learn about history, and figure out where the world is going. If you've got a handle on the future, then you have a leg up in stock picking. "Post-currency world", "only x amount of people use CC", "Internet growth". Those are all buzz words that are important.

Is there a Money Talk award for most helpful thread, because this one has to be a contender.

That's why I'm long in it, for sure.
However, on the buy side, it was ridiculously underpriced at $183 to $185 - how a blind man couldn't see that it was worth about $200 at the end of the summer, is beyond me. And that was a conservative S&P report. I'm not a genius - I just "looked" at it.

BigFella should receive the award. He was a Visa fan. I went with his other favorite, PM, but that stock went nowhere. I wished I had got on the Visa train too.
Where is BigFella by the way? I haven't seen him post in a while. Dude had some good investing tips for people who wanted to be conservative long-term dividend stock investors.

I'm in PM, too. I've got my average price down with a few strategic buy/sells, but it is a long, long play. They're going to be rebuilding next year. The dividend alone, makes it a decent long position, as the stock drops, the yield goes up and you get more shares. I'm buying it for the dividend income in 20 year, more than any hope of it skyrocketing (although it has a lot of upside in the international cigarette market).
Not nearly as good of a value as V was over the summer, though - not even in the same conversation.

Why do you like Visa over MasterCard?
unrelated to the question but MA will be doing a 10:1 stock split and increasing its dividend by 83% to $1.10/share.
