| DON'T BUY | 232.000 | Brian Acker, CA | Based on their last quarterly report, his model price is $113.27. This gives a -52% differential. | 2008-08-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 244.150 | Derek Webb, CFA | A darling of Wall Street since it became public. Their business did well when the economy was accelerating, Consumer is now under a lot of pressure and we are in the early innings on this consumers’ recession. Expect they will continue to miss numbers for quite a few quarters. | 2008-07-31 | |
| PARTIAL SELL | 288.800 | David Baskin | Way overvalued. If you own and haven't taken profits yet, he would take at least half profits at this point. | 2008-05-13 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 293.410 | Cameron Webster | 2 marquee stocks that he is watching right now are Visa (V-N) and MasterCard (MA-N). They have no credit risk. They are transactional-based businesses. The multiples in terms of earnings are a bit rich. Wait for a pullback. If you want global growth, MasterCard would be the better. | 2008-05-08 | |
| BUY | 291.010 | Paul Thornton | A lot of buying by big money has been going into this company. A benefit they have is that they don't carry the possible default risk. Up nearly 6X of the original IPO price. Could pull back in the short term, but long-term it looks like a big winner. Mutual funds will continue to accumulate this stock. If you own, continue to Hold. | 2008-05-07 | |
| DON'T BUY | 237.390 | Duncan Stewart | Pricing on this is quite high. Had a spectacular run. One of his big concerns is its ability to control fraud going forward. If fraud goes too high, there would be less use of credit cards. | 2008-04-25 | |
| TOP PICK | 184.870 | Paul Thornton | Has only been on the stock market for about 1.5 years and ultimately, virtually every mutual fund in the US will have to have some position in it. Has been in a strong uptrend and recently merged from a range and held its ground near its high during the market correction. A sign of strength. | 2007-11-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 189.475 | Brian Acker, CA | This company requires no capital to operate. It just collects royalty fees. Came out with huge earnings today. He had a model price of $175 prior to this. A year from now his model price is about $202. However, he does not have the positive earnings estimates that he needs for his calculations. | 2007-11-01 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 95.750 | Paul Harris, CFA | As an overall investment is very good. Not necessarily cheap. Economy is not slowing down excessively and people continue to move in the direction of using plastic. Good long-term story. May be able to Buy cheaper. | 2006-12-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 98.990 | John O'Connell, CFA | Sees a slowdown in the consumer being able to finance things. The housing market and the economy in general is slowing down. This affects the default rate of credit card companies. Would prefer Bank of America (BAC-N) or Citigroup (C-N). | 2006-11-27 | |
| BUY | 87.600 | Jeff Parent | Did a consolidation and break out in August. Had a nice steady move up, consolidated and is now in another move up with good volume. | 2006-11-02 | |
