Glad I got into some V (Visa) back in the depths of darkness last march. It has a great moat as far as businesses go. The best thing to do is be the toll collector and let someone else worry about the drivers on the road

Seems like you may have called this one pretty bad (you have 4 more trading days for this to go on a huge rally though).

Then again, I cant imagine why you thought a lower volume stock with a 1 year target estimate of $6 was going to gain $2.50 in a month. It was clearly riding a crest at $5.90 after a week of heavy volume trading (unfortunately sheep follow trends), and was almost certainly going to settle out closer to $5.50-$5.75 when volume inevitably returned to normal.

I purchased V when it was public. Back at 64 a stock. I was going to buy more last summer but couldnt due to other money plans. I'm seriously considering selling it now but everything im reading states it is a strong buy.

I shorted on AIG and made 30% gain in 2 weeks.

I just bought 27 shares of GE at $18.20.

I also own CMCSA.

I'm selling off some gains in F, FCX, GRA and IVAN. Time to load up on cash I think.

i dont know about him but UUP has reached 24. Though it still has upside, once UUP reaches 25 markets will start to become more volatile...

I just looked at the price of call options for UUP. The prices for these do not suggest much volatility in the next two months.
