In discussing the credit card lawsuit, The Bull Market Report wrote: "This is one of those legal issues that could take years to resolve and could go in favor of either party. Having said that, it is important to keep in mind that the courts have ruled against Visa and MasterCard in recent major cases, including ones that ultimately allowed American Express to partner with banks that already issue Visa or MasterCard cards. If the credit card companies were to lose this legal battle with merchants, their profitability would suffer. This could be especially troublesome for MasterCard, which intends to go public."

In its recent stock market coverage, The Bull Market Report looked at the following topics, among many others:



 Should investors worry about the potential impact of the credit
 card lawsuit on issuing banks such as Citigroup and Bank of America?

 What are some of the headwinds Citigroup is facing and will the
 banking giant be able counteract them effectively?

 What should American Express shareholders do with their newly
 acquired Ameriprise Financial shares?
