Which credit card company - V, MA, AXP - do you prefer and why? Anyone done an in-depth comparison? They all appear to be moving in tandem looking at the charts and trends. Many of the financial metrics appear similar as well... but maybe I'm not looking at the right indicators.

ETA this is a question about which stock do you prefer, not credit card to own and use.

The one that gives me the maximum points to travel and allows me to demote it to a lesser card to avoid the yearly fees.

Unemployment could rise to 20%...30%...Credit cards will be the first thing not to get paid...Defaults could soar.

No way I would be buying a credit card stock now.

You’ve forgotten the one that’s most beaten down.

Visa is the largest player, MasterCard had the higher growth.

Both have extremely wide moats, in a wildly profitable business.

I'm buying both. While I think business will be down, they are still capturing basically all the online transactions

214 actually it is on my buy list when it hits 130. If you ride it back up that’s almost 65% ride.

How did their fundamentals change so much in the last five years? The stock was valued pretty consistently as a slow and steady grower up till late 2016 and then ballooned dramatically from about $80 to over $200 in Jan/Feb 2020.

What explains this or justifies a sense that it should rebound to those seemingly inflated values? I believe they are a good company, I just don't have a sense for how people are estimating a roughly accurate valuation.
