But we’ve always learned from our missteps, and in this report, we want to let you know of a handful of the biggest lessons we’ve learned ... in hopes that you don’t have to learn them the hard way.

MasterCard Beats Views, Shares Gain 7%

on February 03, 2012

Credit card processor MasterCard (MA) reported earnings Thursday well above analyst estimates, as more consumers chose to pay with plastic instead of cash over the holidays, Investor’s Business Daily reported.

MasterCard’s earnings rose 28% to $4.03 a share, beating forecasts for $3.91 on revenue of $1.73 billion, IBD reported.

Processing transactions shot up 23.2% in the fourth quarter compared to a year earlier, and global purchasing volume grew 16.3% to $648 billion led by growth in Asia and Latin America, according to IBD.

MA shares rose nearly 7% to 381.57, a new record high, reported IBD.

MA is a Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter stock.

I’m Mike Cintolo, and according to our charts this could be one of our biggest weeks ever at Cabot Top Ten Trader. The reasons are quite compelling.
  • Our trend-following indicators are not only all solidly positive but also backed up by S&P 500 earnings growth across the board.
  • The number of stocks hitting new lows on a daily basis is once again very small. And there are no serious divergences evident.
  • Corporate earnings not only are continuing to rise but also are blowing away even the analysts’ greatest expectations.
So it’s no wonder the charts we follow are lit up like a Christmas tree, with all three of our indicators extremely bullish!

This is why we’re expecting 30% to 50% gains from virtually each of this week’s Top Ten trades!
