That alone should be enough to bolster the stock price (again, at least in the short term) until emotion settles down. Then again, doesn't Google have a P/E ratio of something like 60?

Seems like people are taking their profits. We'll have to wait a couple of months before us "normal" investors see the true valuation of Visa. Too much of the trading is being done by the institutions and professional traders now. Visa opened at $65/share and has gone down since then. Seems like people are taking their profits.

I'd like to own a piece of Visa but PE multiple of 15-16 may be more reasonable considering the franchise. Warren Buffett's American Express is trading at 13 PE. Visa is trading at $60 now.

As for Visa - who keeps track of JP Morgan's various debts and exposures? How will it report on its equity and debt there? Please tell me regulators are sitting around the boardroom table for this IPO. Like UN observers. What would happen, theoretically, if JP Morgan went under? Would my Visa card stop working?
