Optimism in Visa rising, but will it be enough?
Recently we saw Visa (V) being beaten down and staying under a significant pressure as investors were trying to determine the impact of regulation act on the company.

Stock market under pressure
Stocks retreat as Fed grows more cautious. Yea, who else pays attention what Fed feels these days?
