A beginner usually feels very attracted to the stock market while for example discovering a penny stock that's being reported in CNBC or the news program and watching it rise steady fast and make new highs from $1 to $7 in just 2 months.
While learning about this successful news story he's saying to himself "Oh boy if I was one of those lucky guys who bought that cheap stock back when it was priced at $10 I easily would have tripled my money by now… That means my 10 grand would transformed in to a whooping 70 K! hassle free … I would have been able to grab one of those big HUMMERs on the spot and probably pick up a nice Rolex by the way!"
The stock market news constantly reports of hot small cap stocks that are breaking out and making tremendous gains on the same day or doubling in price in just a few hours. Back in the bull market of the late 90's you could easily see a good number of hot stocks sprouting out every week.
Those years surely made it look like every body could easily take LONG SHOTS and make a shiny pile of gold every day in the stock market. But today's market is a different story. A totally different animal.
Some say that the stock market has gotten more realistic. Fantasy land is over and GAMBLING YOUR WAY TO RICHES is not an option anymore. You might get lucky a few times, but your constant loses can wipe you out sooner or later.
The fact that the bull market period has ended for now doesn't mean that you can't make a great deal of money in today's market. A lot folks from many walks of life keep making excellent profits on a daily basis, pocketing hundreds & thousands of dollars by trading penny stocks online.
Success in penny stock trading starts by applying a wiser and REALISTIC methodology for choosing hot penny stocks as well as for getting in and out of them with profits in mind.
You need to look at the stock market more realistically. You got to learn that you can benefit when stocks go up and also when they FALL down.
You got to WORK SMARTER and get more selective about the hot stock trading opportunities that you choose. You need to embrace the nature of day trading and be fully prepared to take advantage of stocks that are poised for a BIG RISE on the same day.
The bottom line is you have to PREPARE YOUR SELF to be successful, just like you would do it in other areas of your life in order to achieve success.

Why's Mastercard's stock doing so well when a lot of people can't pay their credit card debt?
2007 set the record for the number of credit card debt defaults, and the problem is likely get worse in the near future. Is Mastercard currently overvalued? If an investor has Mastercard stock now, is this a good time to get out?
Bloomberg just reported that bankrupcy filings were up 40% last year:
"Personal bankruptcy filings in the U.S. rose almost 40 percent during 2007 as consumers struggled to manage rising credit card debt and the home mortgage loan crisis drove many to seek court protection from creditors.
Individual filings climbed to 801,840 compared with 573,203 in 2006, according to the National Bankruptcy Research Center. The increase "presages even higher filings this year, as the heavy consumer debt load is made worse by the home mortgage crisis," Samuel Gerdano, executive director of the American Bankruptcy Institute, an industry group that distributed the report, said Thursday in a statement. Bankruptcy filings declined in the final months of 2005 and early 2006 after consumers with credit problems rushed to file ahead of changes in U.S. bankruptcy law that took effect in October 2005. The reforms made it harder for people to erase debt. Banks, credit card companies and retailers had lobbied for the changes.
Short-term borrowings on credit cards likely drove the rise in individual bankruptcy filings last year, said F.G. Ghadar, director of the Center for Global Business Studies at Pennsylvania State University. "Credit card borrowings are quite substantial," Ghadar said, adding that any rise in the unemployment rate may prompt an even larger surge in bankruptcies.
The number of U.S. residents filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, a government report showed. Initial jobless claims decreased to 336,000 in the week that ended Dec. 29 from a two-year high of 357,000 the prior week, the Labor Department said."

As far as Master Card stock, the PE is 33 and it has already had a good run, although being a troubled sector, I would sell shares, and see potential downside risk in the low 130's for the stock.
