First Data spun WU off as a seperately traded company back in OCT at around $18 a share. Asleep at the wheel missed it but loaded up heavy at $21

Interesting, looks like they spun it off the day "W" signed the port bill. And it took off quick.

Are you still buying?

Just based on the fact that I can't find a Western Union anywhere in So Cal, I would say no. There used to be western unions everywhere, now its like finding a needle in a haystack, that can't be a good sign for them.

so u see WU making money with increased regulations and crackdowns from the feds? I haven't looked into this stock because I just assumed that with all the compliance costs the banks are having, WU must have a TON more. One slip and some state AG slams down a huge lawsuit.

I'm gonna stay away from this puppy, with everyone hating mexicans and hating even more the money flow back to mexico (thru WU) the future doesn't look good for WU

probably accurate, but i used to be able to go into most grocery stores and they had western union, not the case anymore and just off of the western union website a lot of the places they say have them don't. i'm sure they are still at the top in this business, but they don't dominate it like they once did.

a lot of places have WU, they just don't prominently display it on a big neon sign. It's just a small computer screen, like the lotto machines. If you ask at the customer service desk, I bet you they do infact have it.

I know of a couple of them within a block or two - one in a food court in the mall, one at a convenience store.

Sitting at $23.16 right now....due to report earnings next week, which will be STRONG and stock will pop to at least $25

MoneyGram reported earnings today and they were off the charts....stock was up over 6%
