Mastercard,MA
BUY
The stock has been a rocket ship. He owns Mastercard Inc (MA-N) which is basically the same. 3-5 years out is going to be OK.
BUY
He likes this long term. They took profits. He also likes Mastercard. There is a long runway for these names, Visa, Mastercard and PayPal, but prefers Visa or Mastercard. American Express is another name that can be looked at.
BUY
Owns it and thinks it's a great company. Very good organic growth, has lots more growth to happen globally. Bought out VISA Europe in 2017 thinks it's going to be fully integrated later part of this year and will add a lot to VISA. Has little or no debt. Tons of free cash flow. You can own it here, or if you get a chance wait when it falls to buy it.
BUY
Visa and Mastercard or Amazon They are two of the world's best companies, and you can own either. Amazon's growth is phenomenal AND their gross margins is increasing. He's about to buy it. There's tremendous growth for 3-5 years coming.
BUY
Lots of room for secular growth in e-payments. Globally, many payments are still in cash and cheque, so more people will move to debit and credit. As e-commerce starts to grow, Visa will benefit. A fine long-term hold. Visa bought Visa Europe a few years ago to expand their geographic reach.
HOLD

The financial space is a great area -- he prefers the IPAY-N ETF instead. Visa has spent a lot on cyber-security, giving it an advantage. Cash still represents 32% of transactions, 50% in the OECD countries, so there is still more runway to go. Volumes continue to grow. Value may be a little rich here, based on the PE ratio, but considering its growth it is still decent value.

COMMENT
A grand slam, though they are facing more competition. He wishes he had bought this. China doesn't use credit cards and rather they use online payments--this is a longterm headwind. But Visa's free cash flow is great. Apple Pay is also coming.
COMMENT
In China they don't use credit cards – they use phones. On a longer term basis, is that the way North America will do it, or will it be some other way.
HOLD
It survived the Q4. He hasn't seen today's numbers yet. He is not too worry.
BUY
Likes it very much. Stable. It's the biggest credit card company in the world. They have increasing international presence, growing after buying Visa Europe. 60% of its business is now in debit. New technology like the Square app reflects a changing payments landscape, but Visa is doing deals with smaller groups and keeping up.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
In their fund 50% is made of 5 ETFs and 50% in 18 single stocks. VISA is one of them. Fairly well priced at a PEG ratio of 1.71. They have a target of $165. He would enter with a half position and the other half if there is a pullback.
WEAK BUY
Look back 25 years or more. It went from $150 to $120 approximately late last year. In '08 it went from $25 to $12 in the recession. He thinks it should be in most portfolios. They would go down as much as the broad markets but it will likely outperform in the long run.
DON'T BUY
The payment industry in the US has been a strong performer for some time. The issue is the multiple, being way too high. You have to be strategic about buying it when it is low. The credit card companies are well positioned to grow. He is worried about APPL-Q and their card disrupting the market. He would prefer AMEX, which he does not own at this point.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It's had a nice run but wouldn't chase it at current levels, but it has a definite positive growth outlook. We'll see more electronic payments around the world and Visa has a stake in this. A fine chart. That brought in Visa Europe and are integrating it; it made Visa more global. Good long-term growth.
STRONG BUY
A fantastic chart with break-outs to new highs. Definitely a strong buy.
