Anyone planning on buying VISA shares on market open tomorrow, anyone have a idea on what limit order price would be good price to ensure purchase of the shares?

$100 per share? Last I heard it was trading at $44.

But the market is a bit volatile. It might be wise to wait a day or so to make sure it doesn't sink.

MA started at $39 and it took 2 or 3 years to get $212

NEW YORK, April 28 (Reuters) - Visa Inc (V.N: Quote, Profile, Research), the world's largest credit card network, said on Monday that quarterly earnings rose, helped by declining tax expense, but the company's shares fell in after-market trading.

The San Francisco-based company said net income for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31 was $314 million, or 39 cents per class A share, compared with pro forma results of $246 million in the same quarter last year.

Visa went public in March and these results are its first as a public company.

Operating income fell during the quarter, to $349 million from a pro forma $394 million in the same quarter in 2007, hurt by higher advertising and marketing expenses and more money being set aside for litigation.

Operating revenue rose to $1.45 billion from $1.19 billion.

In after-market trading, Visa traded at $72.67, down nearly 4 percent from Monday's close of $75.63. (Reporting by Dan Wilchins; Editing by Andre Grenon)

If you invested $10,000 in Visa at IPO, you'd have approximately $13,000 by now. Not bad.

The highs from the first day of trading would be more interesting to see. A big-name IPO usually has a juicy spike before settling down IIRC.

Hit a new 52-week high today (closed at $83.45).

Interesting.
