MasterCard Inc (MA)

[bilboo]

Terrible performance for the year. Ridiculously

low dividend compared to other similar companies. Down over 13 dollars a share for the year. Doesn't have access to a biometric card with fingerprint identification. This is a loser going down hill to the lower prices. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Pitiful just pitiful. Why does Ajay have a job. Where is the board protecting shareholders? Why are the dividends so low. Pathetic. Is anybody really running this company? Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Canadian government expects mastercard to reduce

transaction fees down to the level in Europe. That will further reduce

earnings.[ Forget what the analyists say, this stock is continuing to sink. Poor acqusitions for security will catch up to its earnings. Ajay is not up to the job. Motley fool has been wrong on their recommendation. Dump this stock. Dividend way less than other companies it's size. Bilboo out]

This stock is toxic. It is down 12 dollars from the beginning of the year. Pitiful performance. Why isn't the ceo dfired? Instead the board gave him a 200,000 raiser. Terrible dividends for the shareholders. Ned to clean house now. Lack of performancxe for almost a year in a growing economy. Read what Barrons says. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Why is Macdonalds paying almost 10 times the dividend of mastercard. Board better get on top of this and reduce Ajay's salary for poor performance and increase the dividend for us stockholders. Poor management by the board and poorly run company for the stockholders .Time to clean house and get people to reward the shareholders and mutual funds. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

MasterCard is not leading the advent of safety and protection in the industry the fingerprint card developed by a competing technology is. Ajay is being less than factual about how effective the chip card is. It was hacked in Canada a Home Depot recently. Clearly fraud protection and hacking characteristics must be improved by a new technology that is available bur not being bought by MasterCard or its competitors. Mastyercard is being shortsighted by not buying the best technology available. Even Apple is using a version of fingerprint technology. Ajay I own stock min mastercard and I expect you to procure the best technology for the shareholders not for you to line your own pockets. Bilnoo out

[bilboo]

Barrons has just put out a SELL on mastercard. Say it all. They predict earnings on MasterCard will slow down. Their also way behind in biometric Fingerprint technology. Gave Ajay a raise rather than buying superior fraud prevention, Poor managemrent the last year. Stock reflects Ajay nis not up to being a CEO. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Stock is further down with Ajay's leadership. Trying to get new protective devices when thw best one is close to coming on line/ Then what will Ajay do. Better technology and protection, especially if the card is stolen. All eyes are on you Ajay. A good CEO would procure the best biometric technology available. Poor management. Did your family get you the job? Bilboo out

[bilboo]

It's pathetic how the board gave Ajay a 200.000 raise for terrible performance with the stock and running the company. There better not be any truth to the European controversy about hiding things. We would not only fire Ajay but the board as well. Terrible performance for 2014. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Why would the board give a raise to Ajay with this performance. I hope for their sakes that the stock goes up because they are not acting in the best interests of the stockholders. Stock has been down for almost a year and the European lawsuit is not over. Bad time to buy this lack of foresight, Bilboo out

[bilboo]

What event has occurred for this stock to perform so poorly. Has it lost revenue. No Why is Ajay still around. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Europe courts have reduced the transaction fees that mastercharge can assess for most transactions. How soon before Americans demandthesame lower fees. It will probably affect the future profit numbers.

Things are in flux in the payment of transaction fees. Bad time to buy mastercard stock, especially with the liability shift coming with mercjants

who will want a fingerprint activated card to go with the chip card. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Well the volume was normal, but the price still sucks.What does Ajay have for Home Depot to stop the hack. Chip cards are not enough. We need fingerprint biometric cards to keep the transaction fees moving. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Just when you thought it was safe to invest in mastercard the volume is down and the Canadian government wants them to reduce fees to the merchants for the consumers. There goes profits. Stock is already down 10& for the year. What was Motley Fool thinking recconmmending this stock. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

will people use a non-biometric card beginning in Oct 2015. MasterCard better get on the ball and get a hold of more secure technology. People will use a card that protects them from hacking and fraud. MasterCard earnings will fall. Get out of the stock before that happens. All things have a life cycle. Poor mgmt. is the problem. The marketplace will move on to the best security. Progress is a fickle mistress. It might be to late for mastercard no matter what Motley Fool says. Bilboo

[bilboo]

WHO is running this sinking ship. Lousy stock price sinking volume and not perceived as the best card. Must be Ajay's fault. How long is the board going to tolerate this. All the other big stocks are past the recession. Terrible

 contract in biometric solutions. What are they going to say to the banks when the biometric fingerprint card is rolled out. It's bad enough already. Motley Fool is wrong. Time will prove that. Investors dpon' invest in this stock like I did on Motley Fool recommendation. What a loser.

[bilboo]

Lousy attempt in Nigeria to take the heat off failing in USA.
Stock price down, volume down, biometric deal Lousy. German technology by cryptogram doesn't cut it. We need a new board and a new ceo. How much longer does this fantasy have to go on. Bilboo

[bilboo]

WHY do I feel trapped in limbo. Motley Fool recommends this stock and it dives. Does Tom Gardmer have a bet with you Ajay? Volume still down as well as the price. Terrible Mgmt. Bilboo

[bilboo]

Discover card wins consumer award. MasterCard stock continues to lose volume. Where is the board of directors? Shareholders deserve better performance than this What is wrong? Bilboo

[bilboo]

With volume and price down, what will Ajay do for security. Chip cards is old technology. Ten years in fact. What did you do to improve security today? Where is the leadership? Even Zacks thinks Visa is the better buy. Bilboo

[bilboo]

Wow is volume down Yea and how is that price doing Ajay. I want my stock up. Why does American express have the contract for Costco. Porr management. Get him out board of directors. Where there is smoke there is fire. Bilboo

[bilboo]

What a dilemma. Will mastercard offer the fingerprint card that has better second level protection then their chip card. Will they take losses on inferior technology. Ajay nust be nervous will volume down and a nobody is raising significant issues that will possibly effect his bottom line soon. Must be nervous about low volume. Bilboo

[bilboo]

I already on it based on lies from Motley Fool. Smartmetric has better technology. Wendy's which is less than nine bucks a share has a better dividend percentage wise. The p/e is terrible for not having any debt. The stock is down over 10% for the year. The volume is going down. They don't have the best fraud technology. Smartmetric does. The banks are not fools. come Oct 2915 Ajay better have a better answer than just a chip. We need to hire a ceo with vision. This company is performing bad and it needs new answers on the fraud front. Took them forever to put the chip out for fraud prevention. A small upstart has beat them to the punch. Still facing numerous lawsuits. This company smells bad. Bilboo out

[tk72]

MasterCard is a growth story with ROA of 23%, PE 30X, and dividend yield is .60%. The price chart looks over price, but the stocks seems to be going side way. I should close my eyes and buy the dang thing. Just my 2 cents.

[bilboo]

How is Mastercrd and visa going to explain the liability shift to consumers to complicate the liability issue or merchants when Smartmetric has better security than their card. Smartmetric will probably introduce their card in time to muddy the waters in 2015.
Makes a big dilemma for MasterCard and visa. Won't be easy to transfer liability when superior technology is available. Ad campaign will make it easy for Smartmetric. Bilboo out

[am33han]

Of course MasterCard would win a case of that magnitude, they sponsor pretty much every major news network, if their suit was publicized MasterCard or visa would pull their endorsement...this corruption big business has over this country is absolutely despicable

[am33han]

Go SMME, GIVE THEM THE MONEY THEY RIGHTFULLY DESERVE...BIG BUSINESS VIOLATING PATTEN LAWS AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT IS SO TYPICAL FOR THIS UNJUST COUNTRY....ALL THIS MEANS IS IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY THEN THE RULES DONT APPLY TO YOU...THIS IS NOT RIGHT, GO SMME!!!

[bilboo]

What is wrong with this company? Stock is down ten per cent with a Motley Fool recommendation and the dividend is tremendously less then McDonalds. And that is with do debt. Is somebody in the company ripping the stockholders off. Where are the watchdogs. Something is wrong about his dividend payment issue Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Again the volume is low. Looks like fraud may have an impact on card use. Stock is down for the year while most stocks are up. Dividend is still low compared

 to its earnings. Needs a housecleaning. Performance is dismal

Bilboo

[bilboo]

Volume is still way below normal.New Technology in Australia uses a biometric fingerprint with a phone app. A bank is going to introduce the technology. Go to smartmetric on Ihub to get the details. Stunning technology You can get in a better format right now with smartmetric. Bilboo out[/quote]

[bilboo]

Someone should investigate why MasterCard doesn't pay a dividend as big as McDonalds. Has no debt. What is the reason. Bilboo

[bilboo]

What happened to mastercard volume. Are investors seeing the light? Superior technology is at Smartmetric now. How long can MasterCard ignore it. We need a new CEO to cut a deal with SMARTMETRIC. How long can these fraud incidents go on. We consumers deserve better protection. Make it happen Ajay or push him out. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

Any investors in masrercard that want to dispute what I have said.Mastercard has sponsored a technology conference in Canada.
Why not America? What do they have to duplicate smartmetric biometrics technology. Wake up people. Ajay isn't cutting it. Get a real ceo. Bilboo out

[bilboo]

his is not the time to invest in mastercard with the liability shift coming. Talk to your banker if you want to know the truth about who will have liability after Oct 2015. Bilboo

[bilboo]

Funny how mastercard claims they make it secure for everyone. Nothing said about using smartmetrics technology to make fraud for everyone more secure. When The liability shift occurs in Oct 2015 will mastercard be more secure than a fingerprint activation.Probably not under Ajay. bilboo

[bilboo]

Are the mutual fund investors and institutional investors and pension funds looking at this poor performance. Why hasn't Ajay invested in high tech fraud prevention that goes to the bottom line. We need innovation not being down 10% in a relatively good economy. We need change now. We need leadership. We need a growing company embracing new technology. Ajay might be the problem we have to deal with smartmetric. Is there a better technology out there? What is it. Let's get this ship righted. Time for a new captain. Bilboo

[bilboo]

Ajay Needs to take responsibility for the stock being down over 10% for year. What is the board doing about ajay. He even had a recommendation from Motley Fool. He has to go with an improving economy Why are we having Lawsuits from Walmart? He has to go.Bilboo

[bilboo]

I'm soory I Misspelled the tech company. It is SMARTMETRIC Sorry
That should help the boardmembers as well as stockholders.

[bilboo]

Why wouldn't mastercard reduce their fraud exposure until the liability change to the highest technology change in Oct 2015. Makes sense for the bottom line now. How did a small startup outmaneuver Ajay on the new technology. I think it is time for Ajay to resign. We need new smarter blood to run this company. why doesn't Ajay buy snartmetric and upgrade their technology now? Clearly there is a disconnect here. If I can see it, why can't Ajay. Need a press release to explain why you members of the board. Bilboo

Remember MA has zero debt and healthy profit margins. Risk to growth is likely to come from political instability in EM.. Overall MA benefits from increasing consumption and that looks good..
