Given the recent small rise in cryptocurrencies, as well as less reliance on credit, MA seems to be a short holding strategy for the year to come. This month in general because of policy changes and competition, have been non profitable. However, the yield is at 0.66%, and a 0.11% expected return average the next few days. Mastercard as a company though is investible stock wise for some returns, but won't be as investible for an entirely long term holding. This is even given its past "bullfrog" breakout. Overall, I would keep it for a short time period but would consider it as volatile for an extremely long term holding.
