I prefer MA

Curious - Anything from technical perspective that attracts you? Quick check, only Positive I noticed was Golden Cross approaching. though 100D MA rejected, need to breach that 1st. And yes - Finacials are okish. No large option OI whatsoever to indicate any upcoming catalyst (lack of it doesn't mean there isnt any, but having that definitely forms a thesis). No Insider buys, IV in backwardation.

My results improved after i began looking at the 20 MA and legged/timed my entries. Also, gap days have a strong probability of gap-fill at least once so I take that into consideration when selling premium.

SPY literally sitting on the 200MA for the last 3 hours. Kill me

Full_Cash6140

that's a pretty big bounce off the 100MA for SPX. i wouldn't want to be short right now, esp if we close above the 20MA

vermilli21

SPY 4h 200MA test at 766….but 1h is 762.50…wonder if it rejects the 1h

WordsHappenedHere

Did some buying today. Not much. Breadth indicators look pretty Warshed out here. Percentage of stocks above their 20d MA is just 16%. You have to go back to March 2026 lows and then to April tariff tantrum lows to get those breadth readings. Odd because SPY is only about 4% off its highs. Prior breadth readings this low you had indexes down 8+ percent or more. Sometimes you just have to hold your nose and buy.

Thank you ! Youre right. No matter how bullish I am on companies taking profit and buying back at the 200 day MA is important.

Googl really did bounce off the 200 MA, or very close to it. Maybe I should start believing in astrology for men.

Nah, it's not going to close above it's 50D MA ahead of FOMC

We have been paying 36cents/kWh in MA since before the war. EV makes no sense here until gas goes to $5/gal.

Diligent_Turtle8966

Visa and MA got cocky and was blocking a bunch of valid purchases or bullying entire industries to censor. That also damaged their reputations among the people using these cards not just metchants.

LuciusQ2020

In your case, I would move the money to a brokerage account like Schwab and buy one year treasury bills with auto-roll. In MA, you pay 5% income tax on the interest you earn at HYSA, but not on the interest from treasury bills. Municipal bonds will avoid federal tax but they have complications like interest rate risks. I would only keep $50K cash in a HYSA. In what situation would you need that much money immediately? Almost none. In a pinch, you can sell your treasury bills to get money in 4 days.

uncleBu

You couldn't really trade crypto 10 years ago... You can't realistically trade and never heard of MA and MACD... You wouldn't have made more money had you paid (imaginary) attention...

montblanc2020

Valid thesis, but probably way too early. Remember, the EU is slower than a turtle. Until there will be meaningful developments, V and MA will not drop significantly.

Eagerbeaver98

Cover call actually sucks, its better to just buy at the 200 day MA and sell when it  is eventually above both 50 day and 200 day EMA and breaks 3 EMA at RSI 80 or at 1.61 fibbonnaci. Hits 200 day EMA 2 to 4 times a year for over a decade. Covered calls is garbage

When UPI was launched in India, I had a similar feeling that credit card business is dead. It’s been 5+ years and credit cards have learnt to co-exist with UPI. I think V & MA will do just fine. I don’t have any position in either. Not a financial advice.

Aggravating-Mix-4903

It seems a 600 - 800K home is more house than you need. By living there, you are wasting money you could have invested. I would sell the house and buy another one for about 400k; even if it has a mortgage, it will be small with your down payment. Take the rest of the inheritance and invest it. You should be able to live off the interest or get a regular payout without touching the principal. This way, you have an investment that is growing and a nice place to live with equity that is also growing. The current house is too much house, and the expenses and taxes in MA will bury you.

TypowyLaman

Yeah well I'd love for this to work like that, but it won't. V/MA will continue their duo poly, they have enough money to defend it lmao. !Remindme 5 years that this will not happen

BeVeracious

So you're missing some key area of your thesis; credit cards do run on those rails, but the issuing banks make money off the interest on a Visa or Mastercard. In your analogy, V and MA collect the tolls on the tollbooth, but the bigger play for the banks is they get to finance and service the car. The stickiness is the banks themselves, they won't make any money pushing digital euros, CDBCs, stablecoins, etc because they can't lend it at exhorbitant rates as unsecured debt.

JarethCutestoryJuD

> > short V, short MA Buddy the economy is about to fucking implode. Everything is gonna be on credit, and people hate the idea of putting the goverment into person to person/person to business transactions. Long V, Long MA

mattmentecky

>They're doing it because every time a European buys a coffee, 2.5% of that transaction takes a vacation to San Francisco. This is simply 100% factually not true. Fees are already capped at 0.3% for credit cards in the EU: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/fees-for-card-based-payments.html So Visa and Mastercard has already absorbed (and done so for a decade) a EU market that doesn't net them those big transaction fees. Second, there is simply no way that any digital Euro will not have caps. If there werent, commercial banks in the EU would suffer a lot more than CC companies. It also ignores that V/MA POS infrastructure will simply not go away for the sole purpose of foreigners and hospitality travel, unless the EU is going to offer free transactions and credit extensions for payment beyond its borders. In essence your thesis is: V/MA will cease to exist because the government will handle credit extension, dispute resolution, fraud, KYC/AML and for unlimited funds, all for the sweet payoff of saving citizens 0.3%.

NoPantsJake

V and MA are already moving trillions in stablecoin. We absolutely could see a move toward digital currency/P2P payments that disintermediates V and MA, but there’s a lot more to consider here, especially the timeline and other payment rails that V and MA touch.

Ryanthetemp43

Well I counter argue your claude prompt with my very own claude prompt: This is well-written and almost entirely wrong about the mechanism it's shorting. Here's the breakdown. The load-bearing factual errors 1. The 2.5% number — this is the fatal one. He says every European coffee sends 2.5% to San Francisco. European interchange has been capped by EU regulation since 2015 at 0.2% on debit and 0.3% on credit. More importantly, Visa and Mastercard don't receive interchange at all — that goes to the issuing bank. V/MA earn network and scheme fees measured in single-digit basis points. His headline grievance is off by roughly two orders of magnitude for the companies he's short. He's shorting the tollbooth operator while describing the toll that goes to somebody else. (Also, Mastercard is headquartered in Purchase, New York.) 2. The catalyst is 2029 at the earliest. The ECB's actual timeline: the digital euro Regulation still has to be adopted by co-legislators during 2026; a 12-month pilot begins in H2 2027; the Eurosystem aims to be ready for potential first issuance during 2029, and the ECB will only decide whether to issue once the Regulation passes. The pilot cohort is 10–30 PSPs selected by mid-2026. And the design includes holding limits specifically to prevent deposit flight — Cipollone has framed it as preserving banks' central position in payments, not disintermediating them. He's short shares against a catalyst that is three-plus years from existing and contingent on EU legislative politics. 3. The financials are actively contradicting him right now. Visa's fiscal Q3 2026: revenue $11.63B, up 14%, adjusted EPS $3.32, up 11%, cross-border volume +13% constant-dollar. Mastercard's Q2 2026: revenue $9.28B, up 14%, adjusted EPS $5.04, up 21%, operating margin 60%, cross-border +12%. Intra-Europe cross-border specifically grew 12%. Whatever structural decline looks like, it does not look like mid-teens revenue growth at 60% margins in the exact geography he says is the epicenter. 4. His China evidence cuts against him. The 260 million e-CNY wallets figure is years stale. Actual cumulative usage: about 3.48 billion transactions worth ¥16.7 trillion (~$2.37T) since the 2019 pilot began — versus WeChat Pay alone processing roughly $15.4 trillion in 2024 alone. Adoption has been weak enough that from January 1, 2026 the PBOC had to start letting banks pay interest on e-CNY balances and extend deposit insurance to them, explicitly to compete with Alipay and WeChat Pay. A state-backed CBDC losing to private wallets inside an authoritarian system that can mandate adoption is the single strongest available counterexample to "CBDCs steamroll incumbents." He cited it as his proof. 5. The UnionPay claim is metric-gaming. UnionPay leads on cards issued and total transaction value, overwhelmingly from a domestic near-monopoly in China where foreign networks were effectively excluded. That's not evidence of global displacement; it's evidence that China closed its home market, which happened years ago and is already in V/MA's numbers. 6. Sanctions run through the wrong node. Financial coercion operates through dollar clearing, correspondent banking, and SWIFT messaging — not card networks. Cutting off Russian card acceptance was a visible retail symptom, not the mechanism. If Brussels is building "revenge architecture," V/MA are a side casualty, not the target. 7. Category confusion throughout. He repeatedly treats merchant anger about interchange as a threat to network revenue. Merchants dumping cards over fees hurts issuers first. Meanwhile a growing share of V/MA revenue is value-added services — fraud scoring, tokenization, dispute infrastructure, consulting, data — which is rail-agnostic and in some cases sells into the new rails. What's genuinely true The bear case isn't empty, it's just misassembled: India is a real, materialized version of his thesis. RuPay has exclusive rights to link credit cards to UPI, and now handles roughly 38% of Indian credit card transactions by volume, up sharply. The RBI has mandated network choice at issuance. That is precisely "state mandates the domestic network and the Americans lose share." His UPI number is also stale in the wrong direction — it's about 23.2 billion transactions monthly as of May 2026, not 10 billion. Brazil's Pix is the best empirical evidence he didn't lean on. Pix demonstrably took share from debit at point of sale. It's the cleanest existing proof that a free A2A rail can displace card volume in a large economy. The sovereignty motive is real. The European Payments Initiative and Wero exist precisely because European policymakers view dependence on two American networks as a strategic exposure. That's not paranoia. Regulatory interchange pressure is a genuine multi-decade headwind — EU caps, Durbin, Reg II debit routing, ongoing litigation. The 15-to-20-year terminal-value question is legitimate. If A2A, wallets, stablecoins, and CBDCs all normalize globally, network take rates compress and the terminal multiple has to come down. That's a real valuation argument. Notably, the more credible near-term threat to cross-border economics is stablecoins, not CBDCs — and both V and MA are building into that themselves rather than being bypassed by it. The structural problem with the trade, separate from the argument Even if every word were correct, the expression doesn't match the thesis. A 2029-plus structural repricing held via short common stock means unlimited upside exposure, borrow cost, and no defined invalidation — while both companies run large buybacks that structurally bid their own shares and are currently compounding EPS in the teens-to-twenties. The two positions are also not diversification; V and MA are near-identical exposures, so ~$122k is one bet, not two. A thesis can be completely right about 2035 and still get closed out in 2027. Legitimacy score 34 / 100 Component Score Note Understands the revenue mechanic 15 Confuses interchange with network fees Accuracy of cited evidence 35 Stale e-CNY, gamed UnionPay, stale UPI Identifies real structural forces 70 Sovereign rails and regulation are genuine Catalyst timing 10 2029, legislation-contingent Falsifiability / defined thesis 10 No target, no timeline, no invalidation Trade construction vs horizon 15 Spot short against a decade-long thesis Split another way: as a 15-year essay on the fragmentation of global payment rails it scores maybe 65. As a 2026 short thesis it scores about 15. The gap between those two numbers is the entire problem — he's identified a real long-run erosion and expressed it as a near-term trade, against companies currently growing revenue 14% with 60% margins. I'm not a financial advisor and I'm not telling you what to do with a position. If it's useful, I can pull the actual geographic revenue split from V and MA's latest 10-Q/10-K to size how much of the profit pool is genuinely exposed to euro-area domestic volume — that's the number that would either validate or kill this thesis quantitatively, and neither he nor the bulls seem to have looked it up.

vittoshulman

In SEA everyone is using QR codes to pay and accept payments with a phone app. No need for physical card and merchants don't need to buy equipment. V and MA is a yeaster year technology. But they do have a lot of moat and political power in Northern Hemisphere and won't go down without a fight. The end will be when X starts its own digital wallet.

topgeezr

The Digital Euro is following in the footsteps of PIX, which since 2020 has taken over 62% of payment traffic in Brazil and is in several other South American Countries. Russia and China have similarly put in place digital payment systems that do not rely on V/MA - India too, I believe. The TAM is shrinking. As ever the toughest thing to call is the timing, and some gains may still be in the stock but the risk of getting caught in a terminal downtrend is increasing.

Strong_Brick_9703

He simply wanted to add Russia to this text (for whatever reasons). A lot of countries in Asia have been free of Visa/MA monopoly for decades. Europe is actually a runner-up here.

Tenbaggersonly

If you think V/MA collect 2.5% then you clearly don’t understand how card payments work

1098duc_w_the_termi

Crashing back to 2026 levels because money has long lost become worthless and Americans still use V and MA lmao. Or everything crashes and money worthless anyway in the hellscaoe of the future. This is why shorting without specific milestone dependent timelines is a regards guide to higher regardation.

vicblaga87

Prose is AI slop. But the underlying point is valid. MA/V moat is the geopolitical chokehold US has on (mostly) Europe. There is extreme urgency for this to go away (hence the push for the digital euro). FYI the infrastructure to switch to an European alternative already exists - it's called SEPA (instant) and works beautifully.

**But isn't that where the demand zone resides? And isn't that where stocks tend to bounce back**? Not necessarily, but often they will have some overlap. **Keep the MA as the anchor, move the stop off it.** Exactly, that's generally a good rule for most to follow. As for ATR/ADR, note that I'm referring to the ATR/ADR of a stock, not the indicator itself, just to be clear here. **Same logic you used, just positioned outside the noise band rather than inside it.** I hear you, again if it works for you then run with that, no need to overcomplicate things. **For example, if you look below, you can see that** **Use ATR for the offset specifically because of gaps.** Unless you hold into earnings you generally don't need to worry about gaps. Most stocks won't just gap (up or down) and if they do it will be 2-3% at most. If you trail properly, in most cases that wouldn't stop you out. I scan for gaps daily, and they are not nearly as frequent as people think if you exclude biotech junk and shell/spac companies. **Trail on closes only.** Exactly, sometimes it might bite you in the ass but with the law of large numbers working in your favor it is generally a favorable thing to do. That's because 40% of them will create a side called upside-reversal/upside-reclaim which is a pretty high probability setup. That is when price tries to price a previous low/ma but reverses hard on it creating a reversal bar on high volume (the volume is key here). **A wider stop means bigger losses so I have to cut size proportionally on the way down.** That's correct you need to get the timing/entry right. I have specific setups that I hunt for to make sure I can get it with bigger positions at a tight stop to still have favorable RR ratios whilst not risking insane amounts of my account. \--- If you look below there is a simple example for $SNDK. It has an ADR of \~6%. The green line is my 10MA and the blue line is my 20MA. Notice how during a proper stage 2 uptrend you could have trailed it on the 10/20MA close for 3-10x gains? As of now, in my book, if we break that blue line around $1820 again it is an entry. But by then we are also overextended from the 10/20 meaning that normally you should expect a strong pullback. But in this case, if it will go, it should blast right through it. Since it has an ADR of 6%, I would in that case put my stop around $1700 (slightly further than that 6%) and trail it with that principle in mind - targeting previous ATH for a good RR. I would never put my stop around the MAs in that case since it's obviously way too far and more like 2ATR from my entry. Let's say it breaks $1820ish and hold, then that becomes a demand zone where I'd expect more buyers to come in. Notice how in that case, it's nowhere near the MAs. So yes, they often overlap, but not always. https://preview.redd.it/qujtir25zgoh1.png?width=3169&format=png&auto=webp&s=278772e2f9d48b89d9438be3faf4011bbc8d4d7b

BreathOfTech

Super naive. A lot of countries have their digital currencies already and visa/ma growing there still. Also they are as much of data companies now as payment networks, especially MA. Also this is a bit of an engineering argument - I want my transactions going through MA, how will I get a refund if product is dodgy and customer refuses? Courts? Please. So you’d need to build insurance protection into the digital currencies backed by who exactly? Government? EU? Regard, please.

Br1ll1antly1llog1cal

right in long term, the bet is way too early. I'm not talking about Burry's GFC bet early, I'm talking decades. V/MA won't blow up this quickly. we will need to see another 🥭 like president to further erode US hegemony for US financial system, thus V/MA, to lose its edge

Emotional-Breath-838

I'm not following because I sense an inconsistency. You're saying space out the trailing stop loss, which I agree with and then you're saying put it on the MA. But isn't that where the demand zone resides? And isn't that where stocks tend to bounce back? Here's how I think I take what you've shared (thank you!) and put it into practice for myself. AI cleaned up the following so don't get nervous... **Keep the MA as the anchor, move the stop off it.** Trail at `10EMA − 1.5×ATR(14)`, or use a proper Chandelier stop (`highest high since entry − 3×ATR`). Same logic you used, just positioned outside the noise band rather than inside it. **Trail on closes only.** This is probably the single highest-leverage change and it's independent of which volatility measure you use. An intraday touch of the 10 EMA is a nothing event on a momentum name; a *daily close* through it is real information. **Use ATR for the offset specifically because of gaps.** If you're swinging overnight, the gap is the risk you actually eat. ADR is high-to-low only — it structurally ignores the exact risk that kills swing positions. That's a real, defensible reason to prefer it for *spacing*, and it doesn't require you to say ADR is wrong for anything else. Back to me now... A wider stop means bigger losses so I have to cut size proportionally on the way down. Let me know if you rejected ATR and if so, why. Thanks again for sharing what you've learned.

30RITUALS

Appreciate it. Couple things to note here. First, nobody is hunting your stops, even with L2 data. However, it is very likely that you are trailing your stops too tight or too close to key levels that are clear supply/demand zones so just be aware of that. Second, trailing works best in favorable market conditions. If you do a lot of momentum/swing trading, the last year has been pretty brutal to say the least. There is not a lot of follow-through and geopolitical tensions make for a lethal cocktail where you get stopped out most of the time. It's extremely frustrating to say the least so you are not alone in this. As I explain in my YT video, trailing or managing positions is just as much of an art as it is a science, so you ultimately have to find what works for you. For me (and many others), trailing based on the MA (10, 20, or in some cases, the 50) will on average work best and keep your equity curve stable. But be aware that this depends on the ADR of the equity you are trading. If you are trading high ADR stocks, you can expect to get stopped out more. For that reason, you could also look into slower stocks, but use larger positions, since those won't spike and chop around as much.

anon197593815

Monopoly = one seller. From your visa source, "According to the complaint, more than 60% of debit transactions in the United States run on Visa’s debit network,"... obviously not a monopoly. Visa is in fierce competition with MA.

YOLOdollhair

Looking at QQQ - I think market is going to sit here the rest of the day or at least find it's way back to this area for close. Sell above VWAP/200MA and buy below.

Free housing isn't free; MA property taxes and maintenance on an 800k home will likely eat up the $2,800 rent savings, making net benefit smaller than it looks.

Moepenmoes

I feel like the Doomsday clock lost all credibility when they started using seconds in addition to minutes. I mean, everyone is going to assume now that once they say that there is only 1 second left, they'll just be like "we are now 0,999 mili-seconds away from disaster", and continueing to countdown for another 1000 years🤨 Anyway $MA and $MSFT are the only ones I'm touching this month

codyada

Need to account for taxes on the 600-800k house I don’t know what MA house taxes are. They could equate to $10-20k annually I don’t know which would equate to up to $1700 a month in taxes not including the home owners insurance costs. I would say this is totally up to you. In some aspects you would never have any monthly expenses if you invested the money and paid rent. You would lose out on appreciation. - but investments should appreciate also. There is always a chance for a market ‘crash’ and your investment goes down in value up front until the market gets back to normal. You really need to make some decisions- add up taxes, home ownership costs, insurance and any other ongoing maintenance. It would at a minimum add up to your rent costs probably saving for a Roof, remodeling, Air Conditioning, repairs etc - homes are expensive BUT it would be yours in the end.

Teiagon

Over time I would definitely work on refining the strat for entries around TA (e.g. sell puts at support, avoid below 200d/50d MA), IVR, fundamentals and sector rotation. Personally, I tend to sell puts only on days when the stock is red, and (covered) calls only on days when the stock is green.

NecessaryEmployer488

It is not about buying stock X. Figure out a pool of stocks with great fundamentals that you want to buy. Let's say a pool of 20 stocks. Most stocks will hit there 50-day MA every few months and 200-day MA once every couple years. This provides a buy point. The other thing to do is what for the main index the stock is in to hit 50-day and 200-day MA and then buy the stock at that time. If using this strategy, look for some correlation between the stock and underlying index.

mountain_li0n

I don't understand your point of view, there are so many strategies you could take. It has been moving up/down and recently it was 680ish which is closer to your cost basis. Why panic? you could sell all small loss, or trim some and look for better opportunities, if you do that, you can recoup loss in no time. Had you bought CRM, MA, MSFT just any stock with half of META, you'd be in gain instead. Meta will hit 1000 within next year, it just awaits some good news.

Next-gen OpenAI Modular Asymptotic Autogen Matrix … NO MA’AM is going to change the future.

Yeah ALGOS looking at 200 MA and dumping

That would have been an amazing entry point last year. But this calendar year, it's touched the 200-day MA twice and both of those times would have also been good for establishing a position.

Chips (SOX) looked they broke that 12700 resistance (MA 50)

If it will go sideways for a year now, than also cheap premium can lose half easily . So cheap is not enaugh , you need setup that it will go up. Set up is not bad , not far from MA’s. But you will still risk 6k. Some stocks better to hold the stock for long time and not worry about timing

There's no guarantee your list will outperform for the next 3 decades. If it were me, while remaining at a low tax bracket, sell just enough that keep myself under a specific bracket. If selling will trigger taxes on your parents, help pay it. The first to go are the non-tech smaller names like MA, ROBO, EW, XPO, shifting them into some ETF like VOO or VGT. I prefer to let AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT run and monitor once evey few months.

That volume profile is set to 1 Month of data. It's only recording the past few years. It doesn't see the previous volume from 2007 and before (And honestly, it probably doesn't matter as you can clearly see by the chart that it's under heavy short selling pressure). You're also using Ichimoku, and your next targets are clearly visible in the cloud between 2009 - 2015. The fact that the giant MA line is perfectly riding the historical cloud highs is pretty much a "Buy $250C Leaps and sit back and enjoy" signal.

Prices are still locked in an upward trend due to low inventory in certain markets. CT/MA prices are wild.

So Google this year is a better opportunity than Google last year? Buying UNH and then dumping it again before UNH big run up? How V / MA a couple of months ago during their drawdown? Give me a break... There have been and there are plenty of great opportunities in the market. Believing and arguing that Buffet sees something is naive.

The chatbots like them. I followed that advice buying MA to diversify somewhat out of big tech ~6 months ago and it worked pretty well for its purpose, weathering the various tech downturns and turning a good profit. I’m up about 10%, and that’s supposed to be the safe, slow play.

Been using Gemini to try to properly diversify my portfolio and V/MA were some of the recommended companies. I haven't bought any yet, but I'm planning to this week. They seem fair valued/slightly undervalued right now, and they both have been seeing steady growth in revenue, especially in Value Added Services (VAS). They have a good secular growth outlook over the next 5-10 years, and are less correlated to big tech and the AI trade currently too.

A buddy of mine used to trade MA crossovers. He wasn’t very successful at it, but I don’t think the crossover itself was necessarily the problem. He basically traded every crossover signal. He didn't pay enough attention to context for trend, structure, market conditions, etc. So I remember him getting chopped up a lot. I personally keep MAs on the chart, but very faint (low opacity) in the background to give a nice visual for trend. I wouldn’t use a crossover as the trigger itself. They’re lagging by nature, so I think they’re more useful as a trend/filter tool, with price structure deciding the actual entry
