MA - needs to get real

Discussion in 'Stocks' started by Joab, Dec 13, 2007.

  1. Again, I'm not commenting on the stock price, but customers not paying their bill has little effect on MA. When you or I don't pay our bills, it's the issuing bank (Citi, JPM Chase, BAC, etc.) who is chasing after us, not MA. I think you're confusing them for a bank, which they're not.

    Good luck with the trade!

    Your right my mistake, I didn't really take the trade off of any fundamental reason, it was purely a technical play.

    If it works great if not then on to the next.

    cheers

  3. 100% correct. Having said that though, bank defaults will hurt revenues for MA because it will mean less transactions being processed.

  5. About 100 points ago I shorted 400-800 shares figuring "how much could you lose on a small trade.?" What a friggin tapeworm in my portfolio

  7. The title of this thread s/b "Joab- needs to get real"
    The 220 puts have NOT increased by +$2. But maybe if you're paper trading they did.

  9. This stock could be a 2008 favorite. The Apple and Google are getting kind of old. Lets see what happens.
