Yes, a slow down in consumer spending here in the United States could hurt some of its business, but the global growth story is not over and Mastercard is a smart play in the long run on that. I would prefer the stock make quick work to new highs, but with stories like these I'm willing to be patient. A year ago, when I identified Garmin (for different reasons) but as a similar kind of story, I sold out after reaping an easy 20%. Now, the stock is up nearly three times my selling price. Let's hope we've got the next Garmin right here. Mastercard is a global brand offering an unparalleled payment processing services.

MA does look like a great choice despite the current credit crunch issues. I am interested to finding out what do you think the effect would be on strike price if poor sales reports come out for the month of September? Do you forsee price of stock taking a momentary hit?
