i'm in long term. i got in at 65 (second day), got more in the low 70s, high 70s, and waiting for dips to buy (like early this morning, too bad i didn't have the cash in the account at the time).

I have a question for you guys.



With Visa's market cap at 94 billion dollars, (May 30th), how likely is it that Visa will keep going at this torrid pace?



If Visa were to go up 200% from where its at right now......the market cap would be close to 300 billion.......does this seem right to you guys....is Visa really going to get this large that quick?

I think most of the value is sucked out of the stock.....and the earnings will have to catch up.....I don't see how Visa can appreciate much more so than it already has without HUGE amounts of risk.

But there is a lot of HYPE with it.....and tons of people like you guys are pouring into it.....so maybe it will always trade at a large premium?

it'll balance out. i can't outguess the smart people here or on wall street, but if i believe in the brand and the product/service they offer, and i think it's a good solid long bet, i'll spend some money on the stock and ride it out. in the long term it'll grow. i love oligopolies, especially when almost everyone on the planet needs to use their service.
