$Visa(V)$ Least we forget. While everyone is talking about Tesla, GameStop, nvda, obsessively. Im kinda having a Nickelback moment. You know that Canadian rock band with fantastic songs that everyone hates now because their songs were played over and over and over. I'm just over reading post about how great or how terrible Tesla is. And now nvda, is it going to crash now after reaching record highs, or will it reach new highs... quite frankly I've lost interest. I'll just sit on the stock I have, and go three monkeys on it.... see, speak and hear no evil.

Maybe instead I should buy more $Costco(COST)$ or $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ Or $Lowe's(LOW)$ or dam there's dozens of other retailers to choose, but they are bricks and mortar. Am I better off with $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ ?

Let's think outside the box for a second. No matter what retailer you believe is the best, they all have one thing in common. You go there to buy something, or order it on line, idc. At the end of the day you pay with... ah, come on are you with me yet? That's right...

$Visa(V)$ Do you know anyone at all, apart from young children that don't use the visa debit or credit card at least once every single day of the year. Yes, I agree, it's an expensive stock, but it will always be and expensive stock. Will apple iPhone sales recover significantly, who cares if they do or don't, cause you will buy that phone with your Visa card, if there is a better phone than iPhone, apple looses, but visa still wins. 

My point? Don't get caught up in the next best thing, it never lasts. Not trying to be a party pooper. But I'd rather bet my coin on a party that I get invited to every year, rather than a one off party where I meet people for the first and last time, and can't have a meaningful conversation with anyone. 

I'm the emotional investor, attracted to what's on the inside. On the outside, you mite be hot, a ten out of ten. But gravity eventually wins. To me visa is very sexy, worthy of a ring. Tesla is just a one night stand. 

As always I'd love your comments on this post. do you agree? Or am I full of you know what. Oh and please follow me, and I'll friend you too, happy trading fellow tigers :)@TigerStars @Tiger_chat @TigerClub @TigerPicks @TigerWire @Daily_Discussion @TigerPM
