-keep in mind that people with pre market shares usually dump them for an immediate profit. these sellers need to be washed out of the market. this is one of the reasons master card did not do well right away. master card also did very well because it came out with a pe of 15 then the stock went down which also decreases then pe ration bringing more value into the stock. as of the close yesterday the stock has a pe ration of roughly 36, the highest pe in the sector. as a value play the stock is expensive. keep in mind the average pe on the dow jones is 14.27.

visa is seen by some(video below) as a hedge against a recession or a weak economy because visa charges per sale, they do not finance and people use their cards more in tough times.
lets not forget the markets are in a down trend and in very bad shape. as many of you know i am expecting a major crash in the markets world wide.
keep an eye on the highs and lows and of course the trend. i would not go long this stock with out a option hedge. because of v's price to earnings ratio this is not a master card mirror. dont get me wrong it could do very well. ide just sit on the side lines for now. subscribe to my blog for updates. you can subscribe with any reader or your email.
