BUY
Visa vs. Mastercard She likes this space. They're both into e-commerce where there is a lot of growth to come. Visa bought Visa Europe a year ago and are Integrating it which will make Visa more international than Mastercard. These companies aren't trying to gain market share from each other; they're both growing from cash/cheque to online payments.

Visa vs. Mastercard He loves this sector. Both are fine companies. They don't take credit risk (the associated banks do). Instead, they do payment transactions, and here Visa (1.9 trillion) dwarfs its competitors combined. Visa also has a bigger debit card business and are more international oriented than Mastercard; Visa has now absorbed Visa Europe, which used to be a different company. Europeans use cash more than credit, so there's great opportunity here.

BUY
Visa and Mastercard dominate payment systems worldwide. Visa is stronger and has a slightly better growth profile. Both companies are wonderful and well-entranched. They both have a wide, deep moat. Also, Asia will increase credit card use.

PARTIAL BUY
Companies with high valuations will compress if the market goes down. Revenue growth is 12%, so hitting on all cylinders. Payments, volume growth are at 11% last quarter. Growing at a fast pace. That's wonderful, but you get so big it's harder to grow at such a fast pace. Has no problem with the stock, you can buy a half position.

TOP PICK
Leading global payment platform. As more and more people buy online they benefit. Under penetrated in Europe. They bought Visa Europe a couple of years ago that was run before as a not for profit. Good secular growth in the space. She thinks that they can grow their earnings at a 15% - 20% rate. Valuation very attractive. (Analysts’ price target is $161.35)

Visa vs Mastercard? He has held both for many years. At current values, Visa is a great value trading at 20 times earnings -- as cheap as he has seen in a while. He is surprised Visa is trading at a discount to Mastercard -- not typically the case. Long term growth of e-trade is expanding worldwide and there is a long runway for both. He would buy it here. (Analysts’ price target is $162.00)

TOP PICK
A long term hold for his portfolio. It processed 1.9 TRILLION transactions last year -- more than Mastercard, Discovery and Amex combined. Not an inexpensive stock, but it does have high predictability of earnings. There is an opportunity in Europe and into debit-tap markets. Yield 0.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $162.59)
