This week's commentary on Visa covers all of my indicators, both fundamentally for valuations and technically for momentum.

Forecast w/ 3 Year Performance:

Note: The below Table is for your review, questions and perhaps thoughts. If you would like guidance and direction to "Invest Wisely" in my "Growth Asset Allocation Model," please email me to open a dialog on how I go about providing superior performance with a very low threshold of risk.

My Current Forecast is not as bright as you may think! (I will be more specific upon your email request).

If you own or are considering owning Consumer Finance companies, the securities are increasingly becoming a mixed bag. Visa is currently relatively strong technically, but I have reservations about my fundamental valuation. It is on my Initial Bearish Forecast - "Warning."

That means: I am cautiously and continuing to HOLD - Visa, Inc. since having sent Formal Recommendations in March 2011 to my Clients -- the Public never sees my timely Email communications to my Clients until well after my - Emailing those Formal Recommendations - - - I do respond to prospective Client's - Questions and Thoughts. )

My Current Opinion is to Hold in anticipation of taking profits. This may be at even higher prices, but there will be an end and time to sell, but that is not currently in my forecast. That is a balancing of my below three (weighted) pillars of research.

Fundamentally - ( weighting - - 40% ): My Analytics for my fundamental valuation play a vital role in profitable managing money. Earnings continue to be only moderate.

Technically - ( weighting - - 35%): Within this outstanding company, my indicators remain strong. It is only slightly off its highs of $231, is selling for $226.

Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of research is one that is always distorted to the positive by most all financial analysts. That's because they are afraid of being bearish. I am not! My articles on "reality" are supportive of the below 20 year Chart.

I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for V !
